The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Surrey we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU8 Postcode - Pot Common Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were on my way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel father's Mazda MX-3 in Pot Common. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a rural road en route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a few days back after my former car, which I'd used for over 30 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Surrey woman!

A customer rang us from his place on a close in Pot Common. He said, "My car (a expensive Saab 9-3) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise near a beautiful house in Pot Common not so long ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to very nearly arrive at home when my car cut out." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was quite late at night, and carried out a fuel drain and cleanse on the Ferarri red Cadillac Brougham .

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been pretty dead until now, and me and John were relaxing reading through several old articles. This was an unusual calm moment in Surrey. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The person on the phone explained: "I have just concluded my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my matte black Volkswagen Eurovan by mistake". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Pot Common not as much as an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He said many thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we found two young ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.

Standard Misfuel Signs and symptoms:

This is a list of likely wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Decrease in vehicle power
  • Motor dying, stuttering and / or hiccuping
