Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas 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.
