The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations pretty simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in AL6 Postcode - Digswell Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Mitsubishi Outlander in Digswell. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater road on route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a couple of days ago after my other car, which I used for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a lovely Hertfordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Digswell

I'm not actually very hot for working on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just departed the family after eating a wonderful roast prepared by the wife, and I was off to deal with a gentleman who filled the wrong petrol in his red Jaguar XF. He was only in Digswell and so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any harm simply by running it?" I stated there shouldn't be damage and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another satisfied motorist had the ability to carry on with their trip without any subsequent difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on weekends in Hertfordshire that little easier to me!

A customer who had unluckily put petrol in his diesel dark blue Porsche Carrera GT called us for a fuel drain at the Murco petrol filling station in Digswell. He decided to fill up before continuing on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel and it wasn't a great way to begin to our holiday break." It was absolutely no challenge by any means for our technical engineer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they had a good holiday break.

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.
