The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




Once we arrive

And if he finds out that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will only be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

If our technician finds out that it is indeed the problem of wrong fuel, he will start solving it immediately since he will have fresh fuel as well as the necessary tools with him. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it up with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station.

Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in the car, we also deliver other services related to it. You should also be familiar with them. For instance, we do help our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are certified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. Our accreditation from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the appropriate way and legally.

To our clients in the private or commercial sector, we offer this service of discarding contaminated fuel separately. If you have a private business and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it exhibit similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

One more thing which can cause similar signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Hence, it should just be utilized by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

But you don't have to fret since we can fix both problems for you by using the same procedure used in solving the matter of wrong fuel. It doesn't matter if the issue is wrong fuel, broken fuel filters, water contaminated fuel or the incorrect usage of AdBlue, we can assist fix your car so as to enable you to hit the road again.

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.
