The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Leicestershire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing how to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LE17 Postcode - Bruntingthorpe Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel matte black Citron C4 in Bruntingthorpe. I had been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down in a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only just got it a couple of days back after my old car, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, eventually died". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

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.
