The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 3am and nobody was stirring. It was quite dead until now, and Paul and I were loafing looking through several old newspapers. That was an uncommon restful time in Somerset. Actually it was in fact so quiet that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped! The customer on the other end explained: "I have completed my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel rugged Seat Toledo". We got him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Winford not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car. He said thank you for getting there so quickly. As we were returning home we spotted two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
