Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ugley - Wrong Fuel in Car Ugley

I had enjoyed a perfect evening cycling on my day off and was feeling delighted the following working day as I headed out to assist a new family on vacation in Ugley. They conked out after putting diesel into their beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the car was about an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so daft. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place continuously in Essex and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor boy. At any rate, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
