Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt delighted the next working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple on vacation in Artington. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their mint green BMW 5 Series, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation goes on all the time in Surrey and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I made the same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was about. It had become fairly uneventful until now, and me and Ray were relaxing browsing a couple of old magazines. That was an unusual tranquil hour in Surrey. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel racing green Land Rover Discovery by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we left, arriving in Artington under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us for showing up so promptly. While we were returning home we noticed two women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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 VAT 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.
