Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very simply.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in TA20 Postcode - Tatworth Misfueling
What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were on my way to help an older lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Land Rover Defender 110 in Tatworth. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd just bought it several days back right after my previous car, which I had had for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Somerset woman!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
