The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in L29 Postcode - Lunt Misfueling

The driver of a work's Ford Club Wagon was regretful that he had put unleaded in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it coughed and ceased.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lunt - Wrong Fuel in Car Lunt

I had a terrific afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a young couple away in Lunt. They broken down after putting petrol into their faithful Jeep Compass, and the car was about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass regularly in Merseyside and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he still got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. In any case, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lunt

A young adult who had only recently passed his test had misfueled his rugged Porsche Boxster by putting petrol in the diesel vehicle at the service station close to Lunt. He said, "This is only the third time I have filled up my car from the time when I paid for it and I do not know what to do." He was afraid as his dad had just recently paid for the car. He located us on the net and so called us immediately, afraid about what he should do. Our person on the call explained to him that we would be there inside forty five minutes and to not move his vehicle while he waited. We performed the drain on his vehicle and he stated how impressed he was it was taken care of so rapidly and no complication at all.

A young lady from Lunt with her kids in her diesel raspberry red Lexus LS had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children in the back."

This is a list of common wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Diminished engine power
  • Car conking out, stuttering or coughing
  • A tough time starting the vehicle
  • Abnormal smoke

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 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.
