The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

I'd had a perfect afternoon hiking during my day off and was feeling pleased the next day as I set out to help a young couple vacationing in Cheadle Heath. They conked out after putting diesel into their metallic silver Renault Alliance, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs frequently in Greater Manchester and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever live it down!

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 VA 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.
