The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!

Out of fuel in Wollerton Wood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the usual troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Having taken away the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am really shocked I put petrol in my diesel car.

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.
