The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
