It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting going over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Chingford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Cadillac STS lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in.

One more misfuel correction in Waltham Forest well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Waltham Forest we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chingford - Wrong Fuel in Car Chingford

I had a perfect evening golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to help a new couple vacationing in Chingford. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their father's Mercedes CLK-Class, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife berating her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem happens frequently in Waltham Forest and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I mouthed farewell and pondered on what my missus would say to me if I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

A lady living in Chingford contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel green Vauxhall Vivaro and, like many people prior to her, thought that she would be able to simply fill up the tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you fixed my car."

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.
