Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Colchester Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Colchester Green

I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful the next day as I was on the way to help a young family on holiday in Colchester Green. They'd broken down after inserting petrol in their navy blue Toyota Land Cruiser, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Suffolk and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his missus. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved goodbye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever 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 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.
