The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Poyntington

I am not excessively inclined to running on weekends, and last week was no different. I had just departed the wife and kids after eating a wonderful roast cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man who had filled the incorrect petrol in his rust red Vauxhall Combo. He was somewhere in Poyntington therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on something else and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any kind of problems as a result of driving it?" I explained that there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I would remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and yet another happy customer could continue their traveling without fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what can make working on weekends in Somerset just that tiny bit easier for me!

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.
