The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hanley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of the standard troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

A rather concerned driver phoned us from the Shell filling station at Staffordshire to inform us that he had put unleaded in his diesel winter grey Mazda RX-8; he wasn't entirely certain how he'd done it. We assured him it was not a worry and soon enough had our technician with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having purged the bad fuel, he was shortly back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who came out to do the fuel drain was especially very good - he did not make me seem like an idiot."

All of our technicians are competent on the newest automobiles and their fuel systems. We participate in more than 4,000 fuel drains on a yearly basis in the United Kingdom (you bet, there are that many people who do the same thing - you are certainly not alone).

Wrong Fuel Assist Hanley - Wrong Fuel in Car Hanley

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and felt cheerful the next day as I set out to help a new family vacationing in Hanley. They stopped after putting petrol into their metallic red VW Touareg 2, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs constantly in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and considered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

We have technical engineers on call in the vicinity all set and waiting to show up and empty your car or truck of the wrong fuel or contaminated fuel. We operate twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. All of our specialists are totally qualified and experienced in coping with all kinds of cars or trucks.

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.
