The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Prescot (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Merseyside Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the most common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in L34 Postcode - Prescot Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel modified BMW 650 in Prescot. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater road en route to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a short while ago right after my former car, which I had for more than thirty years, eventually broke down". I got the job done and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Merseyside lady!

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.
