The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Crawley Down

I am certainly not overly enthusiastic about working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just left the wife and kids filled with a tasty Sunday roast prepared by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a man after he had filled the wrong petrol in his dirty red Peugeot 407. He was situated in Crawley Down therefore it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on stuff and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about harm through running it?" I said that generally there shouldn't be harm and that I would get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus another satisfied motorist was able to continue on his journey without any subsequent bother. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make operating on Sundays in West Sussex a little bit better to 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 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.
