The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Ashbourne (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car. They will take care of the most common problems that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ashbourne

A teenager who had only got his licence had misfueled his modified Jeep Wrangler by having petrol in the diesel vehicle at the service station near Ashbourne. He said, "This is the second occasion I have put fuel in my vehicle since I paid for it and I don't know how to handle it." He was afraid because his dad had only just purchased him the car. He came across our company on the net and so called it right away, frightened about what he should do. Our individual on the telephones explained to him that we would be with him within 45 minutes and to not do anything to the car while waiting. We did the fuel drain on his car and he stated how surprised he was that it was handled so quickly and no consequence .

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ashbourne - Fuel Rescue Ashbourne

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and noone was around. It had become rather quiet up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing browsing a number of old newspapers. That was an unusual tranquil moment in Derbyshire. It was indeed that relaxing that when the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person said: "I only just ended my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a bright yellow Mercedes SL-Class in error". We told him to inform us where exactly he was and we set off, arriving in Ashbourne less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
