The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Norton

Now I am not actually excessively enthusiastic about running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just left the family filled with a tasty Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a fellow who filled the wrong fuel in his daughter's Seat Ibiza. He was stationed in Norton therefore it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on any problems simply by starting it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also I would drain the contaminated fuel right away for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then one more content client had the ability to continue their traveling without the need for fuss. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make working on Sundays in Shropshire just a small bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Norton - Fuel Rescue Norton

This was the night shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Mark were sitting around perusing a number of old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil time in Shropshire. It was in fact so quiet that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The customer explained: "I have concluded my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Mazda RX-8 in error". I asked him to tell us where he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Norton not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were returning to base we saw two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much 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.
