The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances very quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Preston - Wrong Fuel in Car Preston

I had a terrific evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple holidaying in Preston. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their bright red Seat Ibiza, and they were around half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I listened to the wife chastising her partner for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place constantly in Lancashire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

A lady driving in Preston phoned us after she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel new-shape BMW M3 and, like many people before her, imagined that she would be able to just top up the tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The vehicle was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed inside an hour while she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very happy you fixed my vehicle."

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.
