The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CM3 Postcode - Mowden Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Tuesday and we were en route to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Range Rover Classic in Mowden. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded on a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only just bought it a short while back when my other one, which I owned for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Essex lady!

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.
