Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel grass green BMW 325 in Woodington. She informed us that she had left the filling station and broken down in a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I had only got it a short while ago when my other one, which I'd used for about twenty years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Hampshire woman!

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.
