It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent football, at the ready for the sixth job to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Monks Gate and filled petrol in her diesel stylish Mitsubishi Excel rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so anxious.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in West Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
