The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Mortlake

I am not necessarily excessively inclined to doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a guy because he filled the wrong fuel in his red Audi Coupe Quattro. He was situated in Mortlake and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I had my mind on other considerations and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on any kind of damage by starting it?" I revealed truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and also I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and another happy motorist could carry on with their ride without the fuss. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Richmond upon Thames just a tiny bit better for me!

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.
