Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel apple green Vauxhall Corsa in Harlesthorpe. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a couple of days back right after my old car, which I used for more than 25 years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Derbyshire woman!

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.
