The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Brushford - Wrong Fuel in Car Brushford

I appreciated a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and felt pleased the following day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Brushford. They had broken down after inserting diesel in their grass green Cadillac Allante, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for being so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs constantly in Somerset and that it is nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances 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.
