The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!



We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much once we deal with such scenarios since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to manage such problems in future. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on different things and letting the autopilot do it all particularly when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired car is highly discouraged.

As stated earlier, there are other problems that could be the cause of your vehicle issues apart from incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar poor car performance, generally ending in your car breaking down. This means that if you experience any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

Diesel engines (modern ones) nowadays use AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is crucial, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue.

A guy stopped on a street required a fuel drain roughly a month back. His Illingworth was stopped roadside after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he phoned us but somewhat worried to get his car away from the road since he was generating some congestion. We got to him inside a quarter-hour because our drainer had just completed a fuel drain. He said, "I simply can not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down here! My car was coughing I basically needed to stop and after that it conked."

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.
