They will fix the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Essex we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
