The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PO20 Postcode - Colworth Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were off to assist an elder sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Audi S4 in Colworth. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I'd just got it a short while back when my other one, which I had used for more than 30 years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful West Sussex woman!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Colworth - Fuel Rescue Colworth

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was around 3am and noone was stirring. It had been fairly dead so far, and me and Mark were loafing about reading a couple of old newspapers. This was an uncommon peaceful time in West Sussex. It was that quiet that when my mobile finally rang I leaped! The person explained: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the grass green BMW 650 in error". We instructed him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Colworth less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks a lot for coming out so fast. While we were coming back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up 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.
