The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR12 Postcode - Eccles on Sea Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Saturday and we were off to help an older lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel cream Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Eccles on Sea.

We fairly recently had a call about a man who had put the wrong fuel in his burgundy red Volkswagen Eurovan in Eccles on Sea. He had conked out on the street. "I couldn't believe how quick you guys were in getting a fuel drainer out to aid me after I stupidly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you ever so much". Needless to say we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3 in the morning and nobody was about. It had been quite uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were sitting about reading through a couple of old newspapers. This was an uncommon restful hour in Norfolk. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I've only just finished my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my apricot BMW Z8". We asked him to tell us where he was situated and we set off, arriving in Eccles on Sea only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said thanks for showing up so rapidly. While we were heading back to the depot we spotted two ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
