The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Leigh

A youngster who had only passed his driving test had misfueled his super Honda Ridgeline by getting unleaded in the diesel at the service station in Leigh. He said, "This is just the second time I have put fuel in my vehicle from the time when I purchased it and I have no clue of how to proceed." He was scared because his step father had just paid for the car. He found us on the web and so called us without delay, worried about what he should do. Our guy on the phones advised him that we could be on scene within 45 minutes and to not do anything to the car while he waited. We finished the drain on his car and he said how amazed he was that it was handled so quickly and without any problem .

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and noone was around. It had been quite dead up to now, and me and John were relaxing reading through a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon restful moment in Greater Manchester. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end explained: "I have concluded my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel company's Kia Spectra5 by mistake". We told him to inform us where the car was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Leigh only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor and he said many thanks for getting there so rapidly. As we were returning home we found two young ladies on the side of the road who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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 VA 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.
