The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

A customer from Fishpond Bottom with her kids in her diesel cobalt blue Volkswagen Passat had put £20 of petrol at the Co Op station.

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 VA 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.
