The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

A relatively concerned motorist called us from the Total filling station at Herefordshire to tell us that he put petrol in his diesel classic Land Rover Defender; he wasn't actually certain how he'd managed to do it. We told him it was absolutely no worry and before long had our fuel drainer out to him to drain the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having taken out the incorrect fuel, he was shortly back rolling again. He told us; "I am honestly stunned I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the guy who came out to take care of the fuel drain was especially pleasant - he didn't make me look foolish."

I am not actually so keen on carrying out work weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a magnificent lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a guy after he put the incorrect fuel in his spotless Land Rover. He was somewhere in Whitton so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any damage by simply starting it?" I said generally there probably should not be problems and that I would personally remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus another content motorist had the ability to carry on with their ride without any subsequent hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on weekends in Herefordshire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

This was certainly the night shift. It was around sunrise and nobody was about. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and Ryan and I were loafing around looking through a couple of old papers. It was a rare tranquil hour in Herefordshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer said: "I have completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel cyan Vauxhall Zafira by mistake". We told him to let us know just where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Whitton less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said many thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were going back to base we found two young women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, much 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.

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.
