The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Surrey for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TW20 Postcode - Egham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Tuesday and we were en route to help an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel bright red Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in Egham. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a backwater lane along the way to visit her family. I punched the location in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only got it a week back after my other one, which I had used for more than thirty years, eventually died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Surrey lady!

We not long ago had a call from a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his Ferarri red VW Jetta III in Egham. He had broken down on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the problem before we ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it running again. I was amazed with both how quick you were and your value for money". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and purged the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the motorist was raging, but was pleased after the fuel drain.

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 VA 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.
