The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bassingbourn

Now I am not ever overly inclined to running weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just left the wife and kids following a magnificent roast made by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who filled the wrong fuel in his uncle's Vauxhall Meriva. He was located in Bassingbourn and so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems simply by driving it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I would remove the contaminated fuel immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so another pleased motorist had the ability to carry on with their trip without any subsequent fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in Cambridgeshire just a small bit less painful 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.
