The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Joyford - Wrong Fuel in Car Joyford

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to help a young family on vacation in Joyford. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their son's Kia Sephia, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass constantly in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to get worried about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Joyford

We fairly recently received a call about a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his bright white Jeep Comanche in Joyford. He had broken down on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament until we broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning again. I was amazed as a result of both your speed and your price". As you can imagine we arrived on the scene punctually and purged the engine after flushing all the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the driver was scowling, but was pleased when we finished.

A lady employed in Joyford contacted us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's Vauxhall and, like many before her, believed that she could just top up her vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in 60 minutes whilst she was in the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you repaired my vehicle."

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.
