The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!

Run out of fuel in South Earlswood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also handle the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Surrey we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not understanding how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Saturday and I was off to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel green Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in South Earlswood. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater road on the way to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel since I had only bought it a few days ago after my other car, which I had used for more than 25 years, eventually died". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Surrey lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car South Earlswood

We carried out a wrong fuel removal job near a lovely property in South Earlswood not so long ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to virtually arrive at home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, even though it was quite late at night, and performed a full fuel drain and purge on the green Hyundai Elantra .

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It was quite quiet so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking through several old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Surrey. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the instant my mobile rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone said: "I've ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel dad's Volkswagen Jetta III". I instructed him to tell us where exactly he was and we left, reaching him in South Earlswood under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks a lot for showing up so rapidly. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two girls at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
