The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

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.
