Water and AdBlue Contamination

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to exhibit similar symptoms. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

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.

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.
