The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!

We will help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They can also deal with any of the most common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Surrey we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

I'd had a fantastic evening hiking on my afternoon off and felt contented the following working day as I was en route to aid a new family who were holidaying in Fredley. They'd conked out after putting petrol in their white Hyundai, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling off her spouse for being so confused. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Surrey and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fredley

I am not ever very keen on doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids after having a magnificent lunch cooked by the better half, and I was off to help a guy after he filled the incorrect fuel in his canary yellow Mitsubishi Lancer. He was stationed in Fredley thus I was there almost immediately. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on problems as a result of driving it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be harm and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel quickly for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more happy client was able to carry on with their traveling with no fuss. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what can make earning a living on weekends in Surrey just that small bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
