It was around ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the next telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Coombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beautiful Kia Spectra5 rental. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. Another job in Kingston upon Thames done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kingston upon Thames we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT2 Postcode - Coombe Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Saturday and we were on my way to help an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel new-shape Renault Twingo in Coombe. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a rural road on route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it a week ago right after my old one, which I used for in excess of 25 years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a lovely Kingston upon Thames lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Coombe - Wrong Fuel in Car Coombe

A guy had stopped just near a road in Coombe. His precious Hyundai Entourage engine had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got zero sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.

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.
