The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout 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 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.
