They can also take care of the usual issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Should you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I'd had a fantastic afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to help a new family who were holidaying in Wallington. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their racing green Mitsubishi Precis, and were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Hertfordshire and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2am and nobody was stirring. It had been rather dead up to now, and me and John were loafing browsing a few old newspapers. This was an unusual calm moment in Hertfordshire. It was indeed that peaceful that when my mobile rang I leaped! The motorist on the other end told me: "I ended my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel brand new Kia Carens". I got him to tell us just where he was situated and we left, getting to him in Wallington an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. While we were coming back home we found two young women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.
