The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to assist an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel modern Fiat Multipla in Stokeham. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I had just purchased it several days back because my other one, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Nottinghamshire lady!

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It was pretty quiet until now, and me and John were sitting around browsing several old magazines. That was an uncommon peaceful moment in Nottinghamshire. It was indeed so calm that when the telephone finally rang it made me start! The person stated: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the mom's Peugeot 2008 by mistake". We told him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, ending up in Stokeham an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming out so fast. As we were coming back to base we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to help 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 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.
