The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Apsley End (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

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.
