The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TA20 Postcode - South Chard Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel classic Porsche Carrera GT in South Chard. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd only got it a short while ago after my previous one, which I had used for more than thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a precious Somerset lady!

We are completely licenced and covered so you are aware the vehicle is in secure hands. We are able to attend to all car or truck kinds regardless of whether they have been driven on contaminated fuel or just misfueled.

Wrong Fuel Assist South Chard - Wrong Fuel in Car South Chard

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a new family who were on holiday in South Chard. They broken down after filling diesel into their grass green Land Rover Freelander, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs quite frequently in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I waved bon voyage and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel Doctor South Chard - Fuel Rescue South Chard

A lady from South Chard with a full car of little ones in her diesel brand new Peugeot had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the BP station. She contacted us crying and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."

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.
