Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SK13 Postcode - Old Glossop Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Tuesday and I was off to help an old lady who put petrol in her diesel dirty red Hyundai Tiburon in Old Glossop. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only just bought it several days back because my old one, which I used for about twenty five years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful 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.
