The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car High Ham

Now I am not ever overly interested in working on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just come away from the family after a tasty lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to sort out a gentleman after he filled the incorrect fuel in his metallic green Land Rover. He was situated in High Ham so I was on scene soon. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any harm as a result of running it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any damage and also I would drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then one more pleased customer had the ability to continue his trip without any hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and this can make working on Sundays in Somerset just a little bit better in my opinion!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
