Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

Wrong Fuel in Car in BR6 Postcode - Locksbottom Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were en route to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel racing green Saab 9-3 in Locksbottom. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only just got it a few days ago when my former one, which I'd had for over 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Bromley 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 VA 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.
