The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!

We can come to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car. They will take care of the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Berkshire we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
