At the end of the day, our technician will be taking a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from several cars that will need to be disposed of. You aren’t permitted to pour such things nowadays as it will contaminate waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we offer to commercial and private clients at a fee. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can safely dispose of the contaminated liquids at the designed areas.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other factors that cause engine problems apart from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to show similar symptoms. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the correct place to put it.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

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.
