The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations quite easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Monday and we were off to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel navy blue Porsche Cayman in St James South Elmham. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station and stranded on a backwater road along the way to visit her family. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only bought it several days ago because my previous one, which I had for more than 25 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Suffolk lady!

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.
