Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU34 Postcode - Lasham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was off to help an older lady who put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Cadillac Catera in Lasham. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel since I'd just purchased it a week ago after my previous car, which I'd had for more than 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Lasham - Wrong Fuel in Car Lasham

I had appreciated a perfect evening hiking during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a new family away in Lasham. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their partner's Jaguar XK Series, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never 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.

• 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.
