The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances very easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

This was what we call the night shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become rather dead so far, and Mark and I were relaxing browsing several old papers. That was an unusual calm moment in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed so calm that when the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the other end explained: "I concluded my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in a classic Fiat Uno". I got him to inform us where exactly he was and we left, getting to him in Barford no more than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back home we saw two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
