Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel white Audi RS 4 in Corby. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and stranded on a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a short while back right after my old one, which I had owned for about twenty years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Northamptonshire lady!

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and noone was around. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Mark were sitting about looking through a few old papers. It was a rare calm hour in Northamptonshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist said: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a black Mazda". We got him to tell us where exactly he was and we headed out, ending up in Corby half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us for getting there so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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 VAT 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.
