Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite easily.
Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Robins - Fuel Rescue Robins
This really was an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite dead thus far, and John and I were relaxing perusing several old papers. That was a rare peaceful moment in West Sussex. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the instant the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The person stated: "I've only just completed my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel metallic red Peugeot 406 by mistake". We got him to inform us just where the car was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Robins under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the motor. He said many thanks for arriving so quickly. As we were heading back home we noticed two young women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
