The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

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.
