The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Copthorne - Wrong Fuel in Car Copthorne

I had a wonderful day cycling on my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family who were holidaying in Copthorne. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their luxury Kia Sportage, and were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in West Sussex and that it is nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Copthorne

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a beautiful residence in Copthorne a few weeks ago.

Our technician went out, regardless that it was rather late at night, and performed a standard fuel drain and purge on the metallic red Daihatsu Rocky to everyone's satisfaction.

A customer driving in Copthorne contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had filled petrol in her diesel metallic blue Nissan and, like countless prior to her, thought that she could simply fill up her tank with diesel and it would run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within 60 minutes while she was working. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy you fixed my car."

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.
