The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

As I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only acquired it several days back because my previous car, which I had used for in excess of thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost".

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.
