The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Whittonditch - Wrong Fuel in Car Whittonditch

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Whittonditch. They conked out after filling petrol into their white MINI Cooper Clubman, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her man for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass regularly in Wiltshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, even so he yet still had an earful by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever 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:

    • 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.

  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.
