The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NG22 Postcode - Halam Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to help an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel brother's Alfa Romeo Spider in Halam. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a country lane on route to see her family. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only acquired it a short while ago when my other one, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Nottinghamshire woman!

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.
