Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just purchased it a short while back after my old car, which I used for over twenty years, finally died". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Somerset woman!

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.
