The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CO11 Postcode - Horsley Cross Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were off to assist an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Fiat Multipla in Horsley Cross. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road along the way to see her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only bought it a short while ago after my other one, which I had had for over 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Essex woman!

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.
