Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR15 Postcode - Tharston Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Mazda RX-8 in Tharston. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only just purchased it a week ago after my other one, which I used for over twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a precious Norfolk lady!

He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top.

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.
