The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may well result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Bexley to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

It can't be nice breaking down in a automobile with the improper fuel in the middle of the road.

He had it drained and had it functioning in just 30 minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

This was certainly the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It had become fairly dead thus far, and John and I were sitting reading a few old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet moment in Bexley. It was so tranquil that the moment my mobile finally rang I leaped with surprise! The person explained: "I have concluded my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel wife's Audi A7". We told him to let us know just where the car was located and we hit the road, arriving in Farringdon less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two women on the edge of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
