The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their deep grey Citron DS3, and they were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him.

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.
