It was before seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated talking about the sports, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Pleshey and put the wrong fuel in a diesel customised Volkswagen Passat hire car. She was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car into a safe area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Pleshey - Wrong Fuel in Car Pleshey

I had a terrific afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Pleshey. They'd stopped after filling diesel into their yellow Vauxhall Signum, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing happens constantly in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
