The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
