Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated 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.
