The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel boss' Renault in West Crudwell. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only just bought it a few days ago right after my other car, which I'd used for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Wiltshire lady!

No matter if your car is brand new or old, we have got the competencies, know-how AND hardware to make certain that your vehicle is cleared out and flushed of any contaminated fuel as fast as possible, so that you have the ability to carry on with your journey with minimum disruption.

Wrong Fuel Assist West Crudwell - Wrong Fuel in Car West Crudwell

I had a wonderful evening fishing during my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple on vacation in West Crudwell. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their maroon Daewoo Nubira, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal chastising her hubby for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass regularly in Wiltshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd personally 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:

  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.
