Contaminated Fuel?
We Drain & Clear It On the Spot
Contaminated fuel in your vehicle is more common than most people realise and it can happen to anyone, not just those who put in the wrong fuel type. If your engine is misfiring, producing unusual smoke, struggling to start, or running roughly after a recent refuel, you may be dealing with fuel contamination. Common causes include water entering the tank, sediment or rust from an old tank, mixed fuel grades, or sub-standard fuel from a service station. The most important action is to stop driving immediately continuing to run the engine on contaminated fuel risks damage to your injectors, fuel pump and catalytic converter. Call Wrong Fuel Help on 0432 553 905 for immediate mobile assistance across Newcastle and NSW.
