The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations pretty easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
