The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stoughton - Wrong Fuel in Car Stoughton

I'd had a terrific day cycling during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were away in Stoughton. They'd stopped after inserting petrol into their metallic blue Nissan Pathfinder, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for being so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this goes on constantly in Leicestershire and that it's nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the same mistake... I'd never live it down!

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.
