The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Penrhos (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to handle the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had been quite dead until now, and Paul and I were relaxing reading a number of old articles. That was an uncommon calm moment in Herefordshire. It was in fact that peaceful that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The person told me: "I only just finished my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my spotless Ford in error". We told him to inform us exactly where the car was and we headed out, reaching him in Penrhos only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly.

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.
