The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps 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 on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

It's no fun being stranded in a car filled with the incorrect fuel halfway down the road.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Houghton - Fuel Rescue Houghton

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had become rather uneventful thus far, and John and I were sitting looking at several old papers. That was a rare peaceful time in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the moment my mobile rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the other end said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the mum's Cadillac Catera in error". I instructed him to tell us just where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Houghton no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two ladies on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
