The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
