The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
