Water Contamination
Having water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it’s not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. This process is likely to take longer than a regular misfuel however we have attended thousands of these jobs every year and our engineers have been trained to handle even the hardest of fuel drains.

- Luton Airport handles around 12 million passengers per year and operates one of the UK’s largest hire car villages — unfamiliarity with the fuel type of a hire car is one of the most common causes of misfuelling, making the LU postcode area a consistent source of callouts.
- Milton Keynes is home to the UK headquarters of Mercedes-Benz UK, Network Rail, Santander and several major logistics operations — among the highest concentrations of company car and fleet vehicle users outside London.
- The M1 through Bedfordshire (junctions 10–13) is one of England’s primary north-south freight motorways — Toddington Services (M1 J12) is a known misfuel location for both commercial drivers and private motorists on longer journeys.
- Luton’s large logistics and distribution sector — including Amazon, DHL and major food distribution operations — generates significant van and commercial vehicle traffic throughout the county, contributing to the above-average AdBlue contamination rate.
