Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Leggatt Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Leggatt Hill

I'd had a great afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I set off to help a young couple away in Leggatt Hill. They broken down after inserting petrol in their friend's Seat Toledo, and were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this goes on regularly in West Sussex and that it is nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
