Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

What a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a warm Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel rust red Mercedes SLK55 AMG in Uppermill. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down along a rural lane along the way to see her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only just got it a few days ago after my old car, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, eventually died". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Greater Manchester lady!

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on my day off and felt cheerful the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Uppermill. They'd stopped after putting diesel in their customised Lexus LX, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens continuously in Greater Manchester and that it's really absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still got an earful by his better half. Poor lad. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would 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 VA 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.
