It was just before ten pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Littlehampton and put petrol in a diesel daughter's Audi Quattro hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Littlehampton

I am certainly not overly inclined to running on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just departed the family after a lovely Sunday roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his wife's Mitsubishi L300. He was located in Littlehampton and so I arrived on scene rapidly. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and didn't ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any harm by running it?" I revealed that there probably should not be problems and that also I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so one more content motorist had the ability to carry on with his trip without the bother. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in West Sussex that little bit easier for me!

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:

    • 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.
