The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Etchilhampton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will take care of the typical problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Etchilhampton - Wrong Fuel in Car Etchilhampton

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling contented the following day as I set out to aid a young couple on vacation in Etchilhampton. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their husband's Mitsubishi Lancer, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her man for being so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this happens constantly in Wiltshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

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:

    • 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.
