The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Bletchingdon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with the normal issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Oxfordshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In case you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in OX5 Postcode - Bletchingdon Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was en route to assist an old sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Cadillac Eldorado in Bletchingdon. I had been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up in a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had only got it a week back when my former car, which I owned for over 30 years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Oxfordshire lady!

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.
