The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
