Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and almost noone was around. It had become rather quiet thus far, and Mark and I were loafing around looking through some old papers. That was an uncommon quiet hour in West Sussex. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The voice said: "I have just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel dark green BMW Z4". We told him to tell us where the car was and we headed out, getting to him in East Preston only half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us for showing up so fast.

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.
