The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 3:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty dead until now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking at several old papers. It was an unusual calm time in Lewisham. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when the telephone rang it made me start! The motorist said: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my beautiful Peugeot 505 in error". I got him to inform us where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, getting to him in East Ham no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming so fast. As we were heading back to the office we saw two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
