The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Burbage

I am not actually overly interested in carrying out work on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just departed the family filled with a lovely roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was en route to assist a man who had put the incorrect petrol in his trusty Kia Rio. He was somewhere in Burbage thus I was with him very quickly. Just as I arrived right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other things and did not grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on some damage simply by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that I'd drain the wrong fuel quickly for him. Needless to say I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then another pleased customer was able to continue their journey without any subsequent hassle. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Derbyshire just that little bit easier in my opinion!

This really was what is called the night shift. It was close to 3:30am and hardly anyone was around. It was quite quiet until now, and me and John were loafing browsing a couple of old newspapers. This was an unusual tranquil hour in Derbyshire. It was in fact so tranquil that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the phone explained: "I ended my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel apricot Toyota MR2". We told him to tell us exactly where the car was located and we left, reaching him in Burbage not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming so fast. As we were heading back home we found two young ladies on the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
