The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Suffolk lady!

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.
