The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN15 Postcode - Preston Misfueling

A customer had come to a stop on a street, Preston having just misfueled. She was in tears and really agitated as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car. As she contacted us we tried to sooth her as well as we could, reassuring her that everything would be alright.

We got a telephone call from a individual whose deep grey Jaguar had ground to a halt on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and put the wrong fuel in my vehicle in error. You guys arrived and fixed the issue right after my vehicle gave up." We purged the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines completely afterwards and the gentleman could then proceed with his deliveries.

This really was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite dead up to now, and me and Mark were relaxing looking at some old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment in Wiltshire. It was so tranquil that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone stated: "I have just ended my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in a diesel mate's Cadillac Eldorado by mistake". I instructed him to let us know where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Preston not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said many thanks for showing up so rapidly. As we were returning home we noticed two girls at the edge of the street who looked like they had a puncture. So we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
