The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Elstree (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WD6 Postcode - Elstree Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel bright white VW Passat in Elstree. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country road en route to visit her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd just purchased it a few days ago right after my previous car, which I'd owned for more than twenty five years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a pleasant Hertfordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Elstree

We fairly recently received a phone call about a young man who put the wrong fuel in his modern Nissan Armada in Elstree. He had ground to a halt on the road. "It was unbelievable how quick you were in sending an engineer out to aid me when I stupidly filled my diesel car with petrol. I'm very grateful". Needless to say we arrived promptly and flushed the engine after draining all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. The motorist was over the moon by the time we were done and he went off completely happy.

This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was around. It had been pretty quiet until now, and me and Brian were sitting about looking at a few old papers. It was a rare peaceful moment in Hertfordshire. It was so quiet that the moment my mobile rang it made me jump! The person on the other end stated: "I only just completed my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in my diesel shiny Toyota Cressida". We asked him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was located and we set off, ending up in Elstree an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for coming out so fast. As we were going back to base we found two ladies on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.

Commonplace Wrong Fuel Symptoms:

Following is a list of typical wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Reduced vehicle power
  • Vehicle conking out, spluttering or even hiccuping
