The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed 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.
