The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman berating her husband for turning out to be so confused.

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.
