The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations very quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas 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 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.
