Did you Know

You might be thinking how else we might help you.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems through the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they need to get rid of. Nowadays, there is a serious concern that such fuel could significantly damage the environment or even pollute the water supply so you are not allowed to casually pour it anywhere. But we can handle it for you since we have the ideal tools, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

Dumping the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we offer to private and commercial clients. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other types of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Besides wrong fuel, water can also cause same symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

If you are faced with either of these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried because we can handle both of these problems making use of similar process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination.

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.
