The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Tarrington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.

Normal Wrong Fuel Symptoms:
