The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

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.
