The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Pontrilas - Wrong Fuel in Car Pontrilas

I'd had a fantastic day golfing during the weekend and felt contented the following day as I set off to help a young family away in Pontrilas. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their work's Mitsubishi Outlander, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens all the time in Herefordshire and that it's really nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

It doesn't matter if it's wrong fuel or contaminated fuel we can help to resolve it. We are awaiting your call to offer you assistance and our services to get your car back on the road once more. Demand a fuel drain or assistance immediately:

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pontrilas

Now I'm not ever too inclined to working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after a wonderful dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy after he put the wrong petrol in his mom's Volvo XC90. He was situated in Pontrilas thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up right behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of problems by driving it?" I said generally there should not be harm and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more satisfied customer could continue his journey with no difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on weekends in Herefordshire that little better in my opinion!

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.
