The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl berating her hubby for actually being so stupid.

Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel.

Now I'm not very interested in working weekends, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed the family after a tasty roast made for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a man who had put the wrong petrol in his new Porsche Cayenne. He was stationed in Stowfield and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about harm because of starting it?" I said there shouldn't be any problems and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus one more pleased customer was able to continue on his trip without the need for hassle. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays in Gloucestershire a little better in my opinion!

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:

    • 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.
