The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
