The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Old Stratford - Wrong Fuel in Car Old Stratford

I'd had a great afternoon hiking during my off day and felt satisfied the following working day as I headed out to help a young couple away in Old Stratford. They stopped after putting diesel in their baby blue Ford Escort, and they were close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife berating her spouse for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem takes place on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

A customer driving in Old Stratford called us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel silver Vauxhall Corsa and, like countless before her, thought that she could simply fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd run okay. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside an hour or so whilst she was in the office.

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 VAT 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.
