The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Rednal

Now I am not ever that keen on doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just come away from home after a superb roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his grass green Volvo S40. He was stationed in Rednal thus it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some harm by starting it?" I stated there should not be any problems and also I would drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus one more delighted motorist was able to continue their trip without difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes earning a living on weekends in Shropshire just a little bit easier in my opinion!

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.
