The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Howden (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive East Riding of Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They will deal with any of the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Howden - Fuel Rescue Howden

A lady from Howden with her youngsters in her diesel daughter's BMW 525 had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She contacted us crying and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the kids on board."

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.
