The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Frant

I am not actually overly inclined to working on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd just left home filled with a magnificent lunch cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a guy after he had put the incorrect petrol in his mum's Volvo S90. He was stationed in Frant thus I arrived with him soon. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank God! I had my mind on something else and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any harm simply by starting it?" I said that there shouldn't be any damage and that also I would remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and so one more happy motorist was able to carry on with their journey without any subsequent fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in East Sussex just a tiny bit less painful 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.
