The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in KT16 Postcode - Abbey Mead Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Volkswagen Golf III in Abbey Mead. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country road on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I had just bought it a couple of days back right after my previous one, which I had had for about 25 years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Richmond upon Thames woman!

A young lady working in Abbey Mead phoned us as soon as she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel old MINI Countryman and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she could basically top up the vehicle with diesel and it would be alright. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved inside an hour or so whilst she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you sorted my car."

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.
