The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stockcross

Now I am not so interested in carrying out work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just departed home after eating a lovely dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his metallic red BMW 745. He was only in Stockcross and so it wasn't long before I reached him. As I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created any problems simply by running it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any problems and also I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and then another content customer was able to carry on with their trip without hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make working on Sundays in Berkshire just that tiny bit better for me!

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.
