The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Surrey we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Surrey to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU6 Postcode - Ewhurst Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel red BMW 550 in Ewhurst. I had been told she had left the petrol station and stranded on a backwater lane on the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I'd only just acquired it a short while back right after my previous one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Surrey lady!

Consequently, if you have topped up your petrol car with diesel, or petrol in your diesel car anywhere in Surrey, call us right now. Our qualified mechanics are available for your call.

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing during my off day and felt contented with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new couple on vacation in Ewhurst. They had stopped after filling diesel into their beautiful Lexus IS, and they were about an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Surrey and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I mouthed so long and considered what my missus would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ewhurst

Now I'm not very hot for doing work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids after having a wonderful lunch cooked for me by the wife, and I was off to help a guy after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his son's Cadillac XLR-V. He was situated in Ewhurst thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my attention on other considerations and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted harm simply by driving it?" I stated that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I'd drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus one more satisfied motorist could continue on their ride without any subsequent hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make working on weekends in Surrey that little easier in my opinion!

A lady from Ewhurst with a full car of youngsters in her diesel sombre grey Renault Twingo had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She called us sobbing and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all would be fine and that she would be up and running soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."

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.
