The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Black Barn

Now I am certainly not too excited about doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after a tasty Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to help a guy after he had put the incorrect petrol in his racing green BMW M Roadster. He was only in Black Barn so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and didn't ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused some harm by simply running it?" I revealed generally there should not be problems and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus another happy motorist could carry on with their journey without any bother. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes working on Sundays in Lincolnshire that little bit better for me!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was about sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become quite uneventful so far, and Mark and I were sitting around perusing a few old magazines. This was an uncommon calm time in Lincolnshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my expensive Hyundai Scoupe". I got him to let us know just where the vehicle was situated and we left, reaching him in Black Barn no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He said many thanks for coming so fast. As we were coming back to the office we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
