Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and I was off to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel mint condition BMW 550 in East Kirkby. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was pulled up on a backwater road on the way to see her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she explained, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only just got it a short while ago after my old car, which I had used for more than 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Lincolnshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist East Kirkby - Wrong Fuel in Car East Kirkby

I'd had a wonderful afternoon hiking on my off day and felt satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to help a new couple who were away in East Kirkby. They'd broken down after adding petrol in their metallic blue BMW Z4 M, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Lincolnshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would 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 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.
