A guy conked out on a street in Parkeston had to have a fuel drain around a few weeks back. His light green Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 was stopped on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was calm when he phoned us but somewhat concerned to get his car off the road since he was generating considerable traffic. We arrived within a quarter-hour because our drainer was in in close proximity of Parkeston and had just concluded his previous job.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CO12 Postcode - Parkeston Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel modern Mitsubishi Pajero in Parkeston. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and broken down along a backwater road en route to see her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only got it a week back because my former car, which I had had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious 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.
