The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Southampton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They will deal with any of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

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.
