The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel bright red Volvo850 in Cottonworth. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a backwater road along the way to visit her family.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and nobody was stirring. It was rather dead until now, and me and Mark were relaxing reading through a couple of old magazines. That was a rare peaceful moment in Hampshire. It was in fact that quiet that the instant the telephone rang I jumped! The customer explained: "I just finished my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in a metallic yellow BMW 5 Series". We told him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Cottonworth no more than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said many thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
