The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in IP28 Postcode - Wordwell Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel dirty red VW Fox in Wordwell. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane on route to see her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a few days ago when my other one, which I had used for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful Suffolk woman!

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.
