The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

A woman had broken down on a road, Clun just after having put petrol in her diesel car. She was in tears and very agitated as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, assuring her that it would be alright. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer troubled and was quite fascinated in watching our technician perform the fuel drain on her raspberry red Skoda Yeti. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is like my child, I only recently bought it and it honestly concerned me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm very glad that it was easily fixable."

I'd had a perfect evening hiking on my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Clun. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their mum's Volkswagen Jetta, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation comes to pass constantly in Shropshire and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, but he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same error... I'd never ever live it down!

A motorist driving in Clun contacted us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Porsche Boxster and, like countless prior to her, thought that she could basically fill the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted within one hour while she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you sorted my car."

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.
