After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they need to get rid of. These days, there is a serious concern that such fuel could severely harm the environment or even contaminate the water supply so you are not permitted to casually pour it anywhere. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary know-how and devices to dump contaminated fuel.

We have the ability to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. So, no matter what the cause we can get you 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.

• 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.
