The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Cropredy (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the usual problems which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, 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. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
