The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel.

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.
