The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across 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.
