The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

They conked out after inserting diesel in their husband's Renault, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife berating her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel.

I am not ever so interested in doing the job weekends, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids following a fantastic Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who put the incorrect petrol in his baby blue Chevrolet Malibu. He was located in Wistanstow hence I was there before long. As I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I had my attention on other things and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any harm by simply starting it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd drain the fuel right away for him. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and another happy motorist was able to carry on with their trip with no difficulty. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this makes carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire just that tiny bit easier for me!

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:

    • 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.
