Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

A diesel-powered car may also show such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely help you.

This was the night shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and nobody was around. It had been rather quiet up to now, and Ray and I were sitting about looking at a couple of old articles. This was an unusual quiet hour. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start!

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
