The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Tompkin (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to fix the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tompkin - Wrong Fuel in Car Tompkin

I had a fantastic evening hiking during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Tompkin. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their matte black Mercedes C-Class, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I heard to the lady chastising her hubby for actually being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly sunrise and noone was about. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and John were relaxing looking through a few old papers. It was a rare restful moment in Staffordshire. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end stated: "I just ended my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel metallic red Mercedes-Benz C-Class by mistake". We instructed him to let us know exactly where the car was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Tompkin only an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. As we were heading back to the office we found two ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, 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.
