The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

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.
