The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in KT12 Postcode - Hersham Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel winter grey Volvo in Hersham. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I had only just purchased it a few days back when my old car, which I had owned for about twenty years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Hammersmith and Fulham woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Hersham - Wrong Fuel in Car Hersham

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing on my day off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I was on the way to help a new couple holidaying in Hersham. They had pulled over after filling petrol in their bright white Lexus, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs frequently in Hammersmith and Fulham and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he still got an earful by his wife. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
