The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Audi RS 4 in Upper Rissington.

Whilst I was working she said, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd just bought it a couple of days ago after my former one, which I had owned for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Gloucestershire 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.
