The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SO40 Postcode - Bartley Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Saturday and I was on my way to help an elder lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel gorgeous Mazda MX-6 in Bartley. I'd been told she had left the filling station and pulled up on a backwater road en route to visit her family. I popped her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a couple of days ago right after my other car, which I'd had for about thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Bartley - Wrong Fuel in Car Bartley

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple vacationing in Bartley. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their expensive Ford Transit, and were around an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked as I heard to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this happens everyday in Hampshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
