The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Mewith Head (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also deal with any of the most common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel creamy white Land Rover Defender 90 in Mewith Head. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only just acquired it a week ago when my previous one, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant North Yorkshire lady!

A motorist living in Mewith Head called us after she managed to get her wrong fueled car to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel creamy white VW and, like many people before her, imagined that she could basically fill the car with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed in an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my vehicle."

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.
