The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SY4 Postcode - Kinton Misfueling

A customer had come to a halt on a street, Kinton having just wrong fueled. She was crying and quite agitated as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we tried to cool her as best we could, telling her that all would be fine. When we got to her she was not aggrieved any more and was really intrigued in watching our technician do the fuel drain on her dad's Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I just paid for it and it truly freaked me out that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm pleased that it was easily fixable."

We are properly registered and covered and thus you are aware the motor vehicle is in reliable hands. No matter if you are in an age-old dinosaur or a brand-new high-end vehicle we can certainly assist you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kinton - Wrong Fuel in Car Kinton

I enjoyed a perfect day hiking during my day off and felt delighted the following morning as I was en route to assist a new couple away in Kinton. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their maroon Hyundai Sonata, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Shropshire and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise near a lovely residence in Kinton recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to very nearly arrive at home when my car quit."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kinton - Fuel Rescue Kinton

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become rather quiet up to now, and Paul and I were loafing reading through a few old papers. It was an unusual quiet hour in Shropshire. Actually it was in fact so quiet that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end explained: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel classic Seat Toledo by mistake". We asked him to tell us just where he was and we set off, arriving in Kinton less than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two girls on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
