Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hodgefield - Wrong Fuel in Car Hodgefield

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt delighted the following day as I headed out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Hodgefield. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their pristine Smart Forfour, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife chastising her husband for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Staffordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never 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 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.
