They will deal with the usual troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Nottinghamshire we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

If you get in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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 VAT 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.
