The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR20 Postcode - Nethergate Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Sunday and we were off to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel bright red Volkswagen Fox in Nethergate. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and got there within an hour. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel because I had just acquired it a few days back right after my previous car, which I had for over twenty five years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Norfolk lady!

We have fuel drain specialists on call in the neighborhood ready and waiting to come out and drain your automobile of the wrong fuel or contaminated fuel. We work twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. All of our experts are completely trained and professional in taking on all models of automobiles.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Nethergate

We fairly recently received a call about a businessman who put the wrong fuel in his boss' BMW 525 in Nethergate. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how speedy you were in sending a fuel drainer out to help me when I foolishly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Needless to say we appeared promptly and flushed the engine after draining the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The client was smiling again by the time we were done and he was able to drive off happy.

It truly was an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2am and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather dead until now, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading through a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare restful time in Norfolk. It was that calm that the moment the phone finally rang it made me start! The person explained: "I've concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel well worn VW Eos by mistake". I told him to let us know exactly where he was and we headed out, ending up in Nethergate no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. While we were heading back home we saw two young ladies at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
