Before long we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Bilton and put petrol in a diesel brand new VW Fox hire car.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

I enjoyed a fantastic evening cycling on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Bilton. They pulled over after filling petrol into their new Subaru Outback Sport, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this situation goes on constantly in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel.

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.
