Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel bright yellow Peugeot 106 in Howley. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road on route to visit her family. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was working she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had only just acquired it a few days back because my former car, which I'd used for more than 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

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.
