The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was about. It had been quite uneventful until now, and Mark and I were sitting about reading through a number of old papers. This was a rare peaceful time in Nottinghamshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped! The voice on the other end said: "I've concluded my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a mum's Vauxhall Meriva". I got him to tell us where the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Staunton in the Vale not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming so fast. As we were coming back to the office we saw two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. So we pulled over 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 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.
