He was calm when he contacted us but somewhat concerned to get his car from the road because he was triggering some congestion. We got to him inside a quarter-hour seeing that our technician was in neighbouring The Marsh and had just concluded his previous job.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car The Marsh

A teen who had just passed his driving test had wrong fueled his classic Jeep Wrangler by having unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the station near The Marsh. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have filled up my vehicle from the time when I purchased it and I don't know how to handle it." He was also scared because his step father had only just purchased him the car. He found us on the internet and so called us without delay, afraid about what he should do. Our individual on the phones informed him that we would be there in 45 minutes and to not touch his car while waiting.

The engine was chugging and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour or so while she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you fixed my car."

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.
