The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Isuzu i-350 in Barnham. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded along a backwater road en route to visit her godchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle.

I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful West Sussex lady!

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.
