It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the recent sports rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Before long we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Foots Cray and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel beloved Hyundai Accent rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Bexley well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bexley we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In case you get in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Foots Cray - Wrong Fuel in Car Foots Cray

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented the following working day as I headed out to aid a young family vacationing in Foots Cray. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their bright white Vauxhall Corsa, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place everyday in Bexley and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • 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.
