It was just before ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent sports rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Ruislip Manor and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Isuzu Impulse lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Hillingdon well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hillingdon we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ruislip Manor

Now I am not actually very interested in doing work weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely lunch made by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a guy after he had filled the wrong fuel in his work's Mercedes-Benz R-Class. He was stationed in Ruislip Manor thus I arrived on scene soon. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any damage by simply running it?" I revealed there probably should not be any problems and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and yet another happy motorist had the ability to continue on their journey without the fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make operating on weekends in Hillingdon a little bit less painful for me!

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.
