The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel.

Wrong Fuel Assist Preston - Wrong Fuel in Car Preston

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I set off to help a young couple away in Preston. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their faithful Mazda B-Series Plus, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation comes to pass continuously in East Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same error... I would never live it down!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Preston - Fuel Rescue Preston

A young lady from Preston with a full car of children in her diesel compact BMW 7 Series had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us crying and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car . We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
