The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hollycroft - Wrong Fuel in Car Hollycroft

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a new couple vacationing in Hollycroft. They had pulled over after putting petrol in their blue Subaru Legacy, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I listened to the wife chastising her husband for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Leicestershire and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd personally 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 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.
