The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Summerley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
