The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

In case you discover yourself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical know-how and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly quiet up to now, and Mark and I were sitting about reading through some old articles. It was a rare peaceful time in Hertfordshire. It was in fact that relaxing that when the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the dad's Jeep Compass by mistake". I asked him to let us know where the vehicle was located and we set off, getting to him in Youngsbury an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming so fast. While we were heading back to base we found two young ladies on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
