The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Old Hills (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WR2 Postcode - Old Hills Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and I was en route to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel buff Mazda RX-7 in Old Hills. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel since I'd just got it a short while ago because my old car, which I had owned for about twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Worcestershire lady!

A lady from Old Hills with a full car of kids in her diesel bright red Hyundai Entourage had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and very worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be in action very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
