At the end of the day, our technician will be taking a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from several vehicles that will need to be disposed of. You aren’t permitted to dump such things nowadays as it will contaminate waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even pollute the local water supply. But we can handle it for you since we have the ideal equipment, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

You can also notice similar signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be carried out by someone who knows the right place to put it.

Whether it is the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using similar procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the matter of wrong fuel in a car.

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were loafing about reading through some old magazines. It was an unusual restful moment. It was that peaceful that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the Denny Bottom by mistake". I told him to inform us exactly where he was and we left, reaching him no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He said thank you for showing up so rapidly. As we were coming back home we saw two women at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.
