The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Now I'm not very hot for carrying out work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family after a wonderful dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a guy after he had put the wrong petrol in his cream Ford Fiesta. He was only in Ballards Ash thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the car and got out he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my thoughts on stuff and did not ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused problems by running it?" I explained that generally there should not be any problems and also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then one more delighted motorist could carry on with their trip without hassle.

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite dead thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting perusing some old articles. It was an uncommon calm moment in Wiltshire. It was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the other end said: "I only just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel expensive Mercedes-Benz CL-Class in error". I instructed him to inform us where exactly he was located and we set off, arriving in Ballards Ash less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so rapidly. While we were returning home we noticed two young women on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
