It was before six pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there going over the recent golf results, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Littley Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's VW Fox rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Essex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Littley Green

Now I am not necessarily so inclined to running on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd just left home after a fantastic Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman who filled the incorrect petrol in his dirty red Peugeot. He was somewhere in Littley Green and so I arrived on scene rapidly. As I drove up right behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted any harm by starting it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that I'd remove the fuel right away for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and one more happy motorist could continue on his journey without the need for hassle. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make operating on Sundays in Essex that little easier for me!

A lady working in Littley Green phoned us after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel rugged Chevrolet Corsica and, like plenty before her, believed that she could just fill the vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in one hour while she was working. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you sorted my car."

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.
