The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Fiddlers Ferry (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the most common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations very simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and me and John were relaxing looking through a couple of old papers. That was an unusual peaceful time in Merseyside. It was in fact that quiet that the moment my mobile finally rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the other end told me: "I ended my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my diesel dad's Range Rover by mistake". We asked him to inform us where the car was and we headed out, reaching him in Fiddlers Ferry under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us profusely for arriving so fast.

    • 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.
