The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel modern Isuzu i-370 in Birdholme. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel as I had only bought it a short while back because my old one, which I had for in excess of twenty years, finally broke down". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Derbyshire woman!

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.
