The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
