The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
