The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!

Out of fuel in Upwick Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to fix any of the standard issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and we were on the way to assist an older woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Subaru Legacy in Upwick Green. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and broken down along a rural lane on the way to visit her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only purchased it several days ago after my former car, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Hertfordshire lady!

I enjoyed a great afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I set off to help a new couple vacationing in Upwick Green. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their grey Cadillac XLR-V, and they were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he still got an earful by his missus. Poor chap. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved so long and wondered what my wife would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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

I am not actually overly excited about doing the job Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just come away from home after a lovely roast made by the wife, and I was off to deal with a guy because he put the incorrect petrol in his light green Jaguar. He was stationed in Upwick Green therefore I arrived on scene rapidly. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and did not ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any problems by simply starting it?" I stated that there probably should not be any problems and that also I would get the fuel drained immediately. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and then one more pleased motorist could carry on with his trip without any hassle. The guy did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make earning a living on weekends in Hertfordshire a little bit better for me personally!

A woman from Upwick Green with her kids in her diesel luxury BMW 330 had put £50 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She called us sobbing and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that everything should be ok and that she would be in action quickly. When we got there she was still upset but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the children on board."

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.
