The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BH22 Postcode - Ferndown Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Sunday and I was en route to help an older woman who put petrol in her diesel dirty red Vauxhall Signum in Ferndown. She told us that she had left the filling station and was pulled up in a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only purchased it several days back because my old car, which I used for about twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful Dorset woman!

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.
