The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car West Molesey

I am not necessarily that enthusiastic about carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids after having a magnificent lunch made by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow because he put the incorrect fuel in his dark blue Hyundai Tiburon. He was stationed in West Molesey therefore it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my attention on stuff and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any damage simply by starting it?" I explained that there shouldn't be damage and also that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and so another contented motorist was able to carry on with their journey with no fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Surrey just that small bit less painful to me!

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had been rather quiet up to now, and me and Mark were loafing reading through a number of old papers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Surrey. It was that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person on the phone told me: "I only just finished my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a precious Ford Ranger". We asked him to inform us where he was located and we left, arriving in West Molesey no more than half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for arriving so fast. As we were going back to base we spotted two young women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much 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.
