The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to 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 rather swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Shropshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Shawbury - Wrong Fuel in Car Shawbury

I appreciated a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were away in Shawbury. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their bright yellow Mercedes SL65 AMG, and were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her husband for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem takes place on daily basis in Shropshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shawbury

Now I'm not ever excessively excited about working Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just departed the family after eating a fantastic lunch made for us by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his mint green Peugeot Partner. He was only in Shawbury therefore it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my mind on stuff and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted some problems by simply running it?" I revealed that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I would drain the contaminated fuel at once for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus another content client had the ability to carry on with their journey without fuss. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make working on weekends in Shropshire a little bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shawbury - Fuel Rescue Shawbury

A woman from Shawbury with her little ones in her diesel aunt's Peugeot 405 had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be ok and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the little ones in the back."

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.
