The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
