The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing during my day off and was feeling pleased the next morning as I was en route to aid a new family who were on vacation in Rickinghall. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their buff Skoda, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this takes place regularly in Suffolk and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
