Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Cold Hatton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Subaru Outback Sport rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may well contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations very easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
