We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ayot St Lawrence - Wrong Fuel in Car Ayot St Lawrence

I enjoyed a terrific day cycling on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new family who were vacationing in Ayot St Lawrence. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their super Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal chastising her man for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem occurs on daily basis in Hertfordshire and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he still had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
