The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GU2 Postcode - Guildford Park Misfueling

What a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel khaki green Peugeot Bipper in Guildford Park. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane on the way to visit her family. I punched the location in the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I'd only got it several days back right after my previous car, which I'd used for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Surrey lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Guildford Park

It can't be nice breaking down in a car full of the wrong fuel halfway down the road. Our most recent customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (partner's Isuzu Ascender) in Guildford Park suffered exactly this kind of difficulty: "Your technician got my motor from the live lane. He drained it and had it running once again in just half an hour. Couldn't recommend you more."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Guildford Park - Fuel Rescue Guildford Park

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 2:30 in the morning and noone was around. It was fairly quiet so far, and John and I were relaxing perusing some old magazines. It was a rare peaceful moment in Surrey. It was indeed so quiet that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I finished my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in the father's Chevrolet Camaro by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Guildford Park only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were coming back home we found two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we got out to help 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 VAT 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.
