The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly 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 tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases rather quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SO40 Postcode - Winsor Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were off to help an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel green Suzuki Samurai in Winsor. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down in a backwater road on route to see her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a few days back after my former one, which I'd used for about twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Winsor - Wrong Fuel in Car Winsor

I had a great evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next morning as I set out to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Winsor. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their matte black Toyota RAV4, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the lady chastising her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

He drained it and had it running in less than twenty-five minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

This was the graveyard shift. It was about 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite quiet so far, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading through a number of old magazines. It was a rare tranquil moment in Hampshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that when my mobile rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel new Hyundai Excel in error". I got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was located and we hit the road, arriving in Winsor not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were going back home we noticed two young women at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
