Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ludney - Wrong Fuel in Car Ludney

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I set off to help a young couple on vacation in Ludney. They conked out after putting petrol into their stylish Volkswagen Fox, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
