The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR11 Postcode - Sustead Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! 7:00 on a warm Sunday and I was off to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel cream Toyota Corolla in Sustead. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd just bought it a couple of days ago when my former car, which I owned for over thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Norfolk lady!

Tales from our own Sustead team:

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Sustead

A young person who had just got his licence had wrong fueled his bright yellow Citron DS5 by putting unleaded in the diesel at the filling station close to Sustead. He said, "This is the third occasion I have filled up my car from the time when I purchased it and I do not know how to handle it." He was scared as his step father had just got him the car. He found us on the web and so called us without delay, scared about what he should do. Our guy on the phones advised him that we could be there within forty five minutes and to not move the vehicle while waiting. We carried out the drain on his vehicle and he stated how impressed he was that it was dealt with so quickly and no consequence .

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It had been pretty quiet thus far, and Brian and I were loafing about perusing several old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm time in Norfolk. It was in fact so tranquil that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the phone told me: "I've only just ended my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the khaki green Smart Forfour by mistake". We told him to inform us where he was located and we set off, reaching him in Sustead not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine and he said thanks a lot for showing up so fast. While we were returning to base we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we got out 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.
