The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

What a good night's sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to help an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel friend's Jaguar X-Type in Cholsey. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just got it a couple of days ago after my former car, which I had owned for about thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Oxfordshire woman!

I had appreciated a wonderful day golfing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were vacationing in Cholsey. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their brother's MINI Cooper Countryman, and were roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this goes on constantly in Oxfordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he still had an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Cholsey

Now I'm not actually so interested in running on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just left home after having a superb roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his burgundy red Subaru Outback. He was only in Cholsey hence it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up behind the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of harm by driving it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and that also I'd remove the wrong fuel right away for him. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another satisfied client was able to continue on his journey without any subsequent hassle. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Oxfordshire just a tiny bit less painful for me personally!

A woman from Cholsey with a full car of children in her diesel boss' Porsche Boxster had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She contacted us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that all would be okay and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
