The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

A relatively alarmed motorist called us from the BP petrol station at Worcestershire to inform us that he had put petrol into his diesel deep grey Peugeot 406; he wasn't entirely certain how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was not a concern and quickly had our engineer with him to drain the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the contaminated fuel, he was subsequently back rolling again. He told us; "I am truly dumbfounded I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the chap who arrived to carry out the fuel drain was genuinely nice - he didn't make me look and feel silly."

We handle your motor vehicle equipped with our extensive licencing and insurance. We have the ability to take care of virtually all car types irrespective of whether they have been run on contaminated fuel or just misfueled.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Brayswick

Now I'm not ever so keen on doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the family filled with a tasty dinner made by the missus, and I was off to assist a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his modified Kia Soul. He was located in Brayswick so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived behind the car and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created some harm by simply driving it?" I stated truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also I'd drain the fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and another happy customer was able to continue their journey without bother. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make earning a living on Sundays in Worcestershire just that small bit easier for me!

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.
