The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly 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.
