Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bale - Wrong Fuel in Car Bale

I had a fantastic evening fishing on my day off and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Bale. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their creamy white Nissan Leaf, and they were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good bye and considered what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
