Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

This was the graveyard shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and noone was around. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and me and Mark were relaxing reading through a few old newspapers. This was an uncommon tranquil time in East Sussex. It was in fact so relaxing that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end told me: "I've completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a daughter's Land Rover by mistake". I got him to inform us just where he was and we set off, getting to him in Broad Oak only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he said thanks a lot for coming out so fast. As we were heading back to base we noticed two women at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
