The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!

Run out of fuel in Stratford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the normal issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

In Bedfordshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SG19 Postcode - Stratford Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel expensive Ford Fiesta in Stratford. I had been informed she had left the filling station and broken down on a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel since I had only acquired it a short while ago because my former car, which I had used for more than twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Bedfordshire lady!

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.
