The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB8 Postcode - Malting End Misfueling

A motorist had come to a stop on a road, Malting End having just wrong fueled. She was sobbing and fairly agitated as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we attempted to sooth her as well as we could, reassuring her that it would be fine. When we got to her she was no longer upset and was rather intrigued in taking a look at our engineer do the fuel drain on her apricot Jeep Wrangler. Later on she said: "My car is akin to my baby, I only just got it and thus it especially horrified me that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm really gratified that it was so easily repairable."

I had appreciated a terrific day hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a new family away in Malting End. They broken down after filling petrol in their partner's Suzuki Reno, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs on a regular basis in Suffolk and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, and yet he still had an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would tell me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We have fuel drainers on call in the area equipped and waiting to come to and drain your car or truck of the wrong fuel or contaminated fuel. We run 24/7 every day of the year. All our technicians are fully skilled and experienced in coping with all sorts of cars.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Malting End

I'm certainly not too enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a tasty lunch made by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his aunt's Audi Allroad. He was located in Malting End hence I was with him very quickly. As I drove up right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on any problems simply by driving it?" I explained generally there should not be any problems and that also I'd drain the contaminated fuel at once. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and thus yet another delighted customer had the ability to continue on their ride with no hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and that is what makes carrying out work on weekends in Suffolk just a tiny bit better for me personally!

A customer employed in Malting End called us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel elegant Cadillac DTS and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could basically fill her tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted inside an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm very happy you fixed my 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 VA 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.
