Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH3 Postcode - Birtley Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Tuesday and we were on my way to help an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel new-shape Audi A5 in Birtley. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had just bought it a short while ago because my previous one, which I had for about thirty years, finally died". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Tyne and Wear lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Birtley - Wrong Fuel in Car Birtley

I had a great day cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were away in Birtley. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their expensive Vauxhall Vivaro, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in Tyne and Wear and that it's actually nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still had an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if 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.
