The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TW1 Postcode - Petersham Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Sunday and I was en route to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel bright yellow Audi Coupe Quattro in Petersham. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only got it a short while ago because my old one, which I'd owned for in excess of thirty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful Richmond upon Thames woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Petersham

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job near a spectacular residential home in Petersham recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost reach home when my car cut out." Our fuel drainer went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and carried out a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the cobalt blue VW Eurovan to everyone's satisfaction.

A customer who had sadly put petrol in his diesel dark blue Citron DS4 called us for help at the Shell petrol filling station in Petersham. He had decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby caravan park . "I put unleaded rather than diesel which wasn't a wonderful way to begin to our holiday break." It was really no problem in the least for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good vacation.

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.
