The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Anstey (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Anstey

Now I am not necessarily very inclined to carrying out work weekends, and last week was the same. I had just left home filled with a lovely Sunday roast cooked by the wife, and I was off to deal with a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his apricot Dodge Ram. He was situated in Anstey so I was there very quickly. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and failed to grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on some harm simply by driving it?" I revealed there probably should not be problems and also that I would remove the fuel quickly. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and so one more contented motorist was able to continue on his ride without any subsequent fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Leicestershire a little bit better for me!

A customer employed in Anstey phoned us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fueled car to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel grey Lexus IS and, like many before her, imagined that she would be able to just fill the tank with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely relieved you fixed my car."

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.
