The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BN45 Postcode - Saddlescombe Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were en route to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel pristine Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 in Saddlescombe. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded on a country road along the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and got there within an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I'd only acquired it a short while back after my other one, which I used for about 30 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant West Sussex lady!

We supply you with clean fuel at pump rates, and we are able to in most cases have your car corrected and ready to set off within an hour. All contaminated fuel is discarded by us through a certified waste company and recycled.

It's no fun breaking down in a car contaminated with the incorrect fuel in the middle of the street.

I was so concerned about it that I was actually in tears. And yet I didn't need to worry as you were terrific in sorting the problem out."

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.
