Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL15 Postcode - Tutnalls Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was on my way to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Fiat Nuova 500 in Tutnalls. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had only just bought it a short while ago when my former one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

We care for your vehicle through our full licencing and insurance protection. Through around 150 years of combined fuel removal practical knowledge we know the correct way to have the task finished - no problem.

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.
