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 certainly a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Seat in Long Preston.

I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she explained, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only got it a few days back after my previous car, which I had had for about 25 years, inevitably broke down".

A woman from Long Preston with her children in her diesel rugged Peugeot 508 had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She called us weeping and extremely worried as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what might happen to her car . We told her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.
