We will help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the typical issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being aware of how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I had a terrific afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I was en route to help a young couple on holiday in Elmdon. They had conked out after putting petrol in their canary yellow Skoda, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing takes place constantly in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel.

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.
