The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL54 Postcode - Hampnett Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was off to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel customised Audi S8 in Hampnett. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only purchased it a week ago after my previous one, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Gloucestershire 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 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.
