Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.
Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.
Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Buckham - Fuel Rescue Buckham
This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 2 in the morning and almost noone was around. It was quite uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were sitting browsing a number of old magazines. That was an unusual quiet time in Dorset. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment my mobile rang I jumped! The voice stated: "I've finished my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in a diesel bright red BMW 330 by mistake". We asked him to let us know where exactly he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Buckham less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, 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:
- 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.
- 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 VA receipt.
- 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.
- 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.
