The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BB1 Postcode - Bank Fold Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel faithful VW GTI in Bank Fold. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had only purchased it several days back because my previous one, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. What a lovely Lancashire woman!

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 VA 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.
