The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
