The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Richmond upon Thames we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A customer had broken down on a road, Longcross just after having misfueled. She was sobbing and fairly distressed as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. As she contacted us we made an effort to relax her as best we could, assuring her that it would be fine. When we got to her she was no longer disrupted and was curious in observing our technician complete the fuel drain on her silver Nissan Murano.

Wrong Fuel Assist Longcross - Wrong Fuel in Car Longcross

I had a perfect evening golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next day as I set off to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Longcross. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their racing green BMW Alpina B7, and the car was approximately an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman chastising her partner for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs continuously in Richmond upon Thames and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I would never hear the end of it!

It does not matter whether it is diesel in petrol or petrol in diesel we can assist to resolve it. We are waiting for your call to provide you guidance and our fuel drain services to get your car moving anew. Make your inquiry today.

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.
