Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL12 Postcode - Eggleston Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white BMW 745 in Eggleston. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater road along the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only purchased it a few days back after my other one, which I owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious County Durham lady!

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 VA 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.
