The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations very simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

A rather alarmed customer phoned us from the BP filling station at Greater Manchester to tell us that he put unleaded in his diesel navy blue Volkswagen GLI; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd done it.

Having extracted the contaminated fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I am really flabbergasted I put petrol in my diesel car. And the gentleman who came out to do the fuel drain was very pleasant - he did not make me feel like an idiot."

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.
