The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Mansel Lacy (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They can also fix the standard troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR4 Postcode - Mansel Lacy Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a warm Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Austin Mini Cooper in Mansel Lacy. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a few days back because my former car, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Herefordshire lady!

The vehicle was coughing and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in an hour or so while she was in the office.

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.
