Contamination with Water and AdBlue

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. Symptoms cited above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

The same set of signs may also be due to somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

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:

• 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.
