It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the recent football rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Aldborough Hatch and put petrol in her diesel white Peugeot Expert rental car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes off from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Redbridge done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Redbridge we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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 VA 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.
