The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very easily.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Essex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CM4 Postcode - Norton Heath Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Saturday and I was en route to assist an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel new-shape Audi A6 in Norton Heath. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only purchased it several days back right after my former car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Essex lady!

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3 in the morning and noone was around. It was rather quiet thus far, and Paul and I were sitting looking through a number of old newspapers. It was an uncommon quiet moment in Essex. It was in fact that quiet that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the other end explained: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in the diesel matte black BMW 3 Series in error". We got him to let us know where exactly he was and we headed out, reaching him in Norton Heath under an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the car and he said thank you for coming so rapidly. While we were heading back to base we found two girls on the edge of the road who looked like they had a flat. So we pulled over to change it, 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.
