The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CM3 Postcode - Fanners Green Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and we were on the way to help an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel grass green Jeep Comanche in Fanners Green. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only purchased it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I'd used for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a precious Essex woman!

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.
