The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

A young lady working in Goathurst called us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled automobile to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Range Rover and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she could just fill her vehicle with diesel and it would run fine. The vehicle was chugging and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed inside an hour or so while she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very happy you sorted my vehicle."

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.
