The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in M16 Postcode - Firswood Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel buff Ford Ranger in Firswood. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was working she explained, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just bought it a week back because my former car, which I had owned for over twenty years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Greater Manchester 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 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.
