The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in FY3 Postcode - Layton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Tuesday and I was off to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red VW Fox in Layton. I'd been told she had left the filling station and was pulled up on a country lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just got it a few days ago when my previous car, which I had for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Lancashire woman!

I had enjoyed a great afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next day as I set off to help a new couple on holiday in Layton. They broken down after adding diesel into their boss' Lexus IS, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in Lancashire and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he still had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Layton

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a lovely residential home in Layton a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to more or less reach home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, even though it was fairly late at night, and completed a standard fuel drain and purge on the spotless Chevrolet Silverado to everyone's satisfaction.

A motorist who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel daughter's Toyota Camry contacted us for a fuel drain at the Shell filling station in Layton. He decided to top up before continuing on to the nearby recreation park . "I put unleaded rather than diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great way to begin to our vacation." It was absolutely no problem at all for our technician to go out and perform the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday break.

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.
