The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Havering we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

In case you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and we were off to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel trusty Ford Ranger in Harold Wood. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane on route to see her family. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just purchased it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I'd used for more than thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Havering woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harold Wood

Now I am not actually overly inclined to carrying out work weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids after a fantastic lunch made by the missus, and I was en route to help a fellow who had filled the wrong petrol in his matte black VW Fox. He was only in Harold Wood so I was on scene quickly. Just as I arrived at the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created some problems simply by starting it?" I explained generally there should not be any kind of harm and also I would personally drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then another contented client was able to carry on with his journey without any subsequent difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make earning a living on weekends in Havering just that little bit better in my opinion!

A young lady employed in Harold Wood contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled car to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Cadillac Fleetwood and, like many people before her, thought that she could simply top up the car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The vehicle was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired in an hour or so whilst she was working. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad 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.
