The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel red Land Rover in Stambourne. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater road on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only got it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Essex woman!

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.

  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.
