The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




Once we arrive

Once our mobile technician arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. In the rare case that the problem isn’t wrong fuel in your vehicle, they will recognize this prior to doing any more work, and just a nominal call out charge will be made.

The above signs are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a vehicle and if we figure out that yours is the same issue, we will deal with it straight away since our technicians carry the essential tools and fresh fuel with them. You should choose us because of these three reasons. The first reason is that we have the abilities to empty out the wrong fuel and change it out with the right fuel. Another reason is that we ask for the similar price for fresh fuel as that priced in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all types of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will allow payments via any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You might also want to know if we offer other services apart from handling the problem of wrong fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank filled with contaminated fuel they have to dispose of. You aren’t permitted to dump such things these days as it will contaminate waterways and have a detrimental effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply. We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency certified to securely dump contaminated fuel.

This is a unique service that we offer to commercial and private clients. We have the ability to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are found. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and dump it safely to the right regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only cause of engine problems. The existence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

The same set of symptoms may also be due to somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the vehicle.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using the same procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the matter of incorrect fuel in a car. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

We'll be there very quickly. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Once the technician has started his work, he'll only need about 30 minutes to get the work done and get you back on the road.

Wrong fuel in the tank may perhaps lead to other troubles such as air getting into the fuel system or even a flat battery. Still, this should not worry you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We are aware that you went through a difficult moment today, but since you decided to give us a call, we are able to restore your peace of mind by quickly getting you back to your journey.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ashurst - Fuel Rescue Ashurst

It was after six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the recent sports, waiting for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Ashurst lease car in error. The poor lady was very irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we could find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Another job done well in my mind!

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.
