The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Acton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel dad's Peugeot 307 in Acton. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was stranded along a backwater lane en route to see her godchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it a few days back right after my other car, which I'd used for about twenty five years, inevitably died". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Staffordshire lady!

He was situated in Acton thus I was there very quickly. As I arrived behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord!
