Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel pristine Volvo S70 in Hanging Langford. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural lane along the way to see her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was working she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only just bought it a couple of days back because my old car, which I had for about twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a precious Wiltshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Hanging Langford - Wrong Fuel in Car Hanging Langford

I'd had a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and felt delighted the next day as I set out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Hanging Langford. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their shiny Toyota RAV4, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Wiltshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances 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 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.
