Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
