Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Storrington - Wrong Fuel in Car Storrington

I had appreciated a perfect evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set off to help a new couple on vacation in Storrington. They'd conked out after putting diesel in their expensive Seat Exeo, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this occurs all the time in West Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would 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 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.
