The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA22 Postcode - Houndstone Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Volvo S70 in Houndstone. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and stranded along a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a short while ago after my old one, which I had for over 25 years, finally died". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Houndstone

I am certainly not too inclined to doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from the family after a superb lunch cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he put the wrong fuel in his spotless Volkswagen Touareg 2. He was somewhere in Houndstone therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on damage by running it?" I revealed that truth be told there shouldn't be problems and also I would personally drain the wrong fuel right away for him. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and yet another happy motorist could continue his ride with no bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Somerset a little easier for me personally!

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.
