The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DA13 Postcode - Meopham Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was en route to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel well worn Land Rover Freelander II in Meopham. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater lane en route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel since I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago after my former car, which I had used for over 30 years, inevitably died". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Redbridge lady!

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.
