The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Croydon we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR8 Postcode - Russell Hill Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Vauxhall Signum in Russell Hill. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down along a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I had just purchased it several days ago right after my old one, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Croydon woman!

And so, in the event that you've topped up your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or petrol in your diesel motor vehicle wherever in Croydon, call us right away. Our experienced technicians are all set for your call.

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.
