The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very simply.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
