Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bishops Norton - Wrong Fuel in Car Bishops Norton

I had enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Bishops Norton. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their light green Citron Zara, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this takes place continuously in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good-bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
