The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Crockham Heath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the typical problems that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

This was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 2:30am and almost noone was about. It had become quite quiet up to now, and Ray and I were relaxing reading several old magazines. That was an unusual calm moment in Berkshire. It was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer explained: "I completed my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the stylish Chevrolet Corsica by mistake". We got him to tell us where exactly he was and we left, reaching him in Crockham Heath not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us for getting there so rapidly. As we were returning home we noticed two ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
