The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR29 Postcode - Johnson Street Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel partner's Mitsubishi Diamante in Johnson Street. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a country lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only bought it a week ago when my other car, which I'd used for over 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Norfolk lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Johnson Street - Wrong Fuel in Car Johnson Street

I appreciated a great afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple away in Johnson Street. They stopped after putting petrol in their pristine Audi A3, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on everyday in Norfolk and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. At any rate, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove away I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Johnson Street - Fuel Rescue Johnson Street

A woman from Johnson Street with a full car of little ones in her diesel well worn Peugeot Partner had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She contacted us crying and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her car . We reassured her that everything would be fine and that she would be in action very quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined.

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 VA 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.
