Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic silver Cadillac Escalade ESV in Lower Dean. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded on a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I had just purchased it a couple of days back right after my former one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Bedfordshire woman!

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.
