The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

It truly was the night shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was about. It was fairly quiet thus far, and John and I were relaxing reading several old magazines. That was an uncommon restful moment in Lancashire. Actually it was so relaxing that the instant the telephone rang I jumped! The voice said: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel boss' Volkswagen Tiguan in error". We instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we hit the road, arriving in New Longton under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks for getting there so fast. While we were coming back home we saw two girls at the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

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.
