The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Worcestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Worcestershire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And of course never crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in B60 Postcode - Tardebigge Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and I was en route to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Smart Forfour in Tardebigge. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I had owned for over 25 years, finally died". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Worcestershire woman!

We are properly licenced and covered with insurance and so you know that your automobile is in reliable hands. We can easily cope with any automobile styles without regard for if they have been started on the wrong fuel or not.

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.
