The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you end up in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ivinghoe

Now I'm not ever too hot for running on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different.

Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so one more content customer was able to continue on their traveling without hassle.

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.
