The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet 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.
