The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
