The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

I had appreciated a wonderful day fishing during my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Kenton. They conked out after filling diesel in their mate's VW, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place frequently in Suffolk and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel.

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.
