The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
