The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Bedfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SG19 Postcode - Wrestlingworth Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Saturday and I was on my way to help an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel apple green Volvo V70 in Wrestlingworth. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up in a rural road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just purchased it a short while back because my former one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Bedfordshire woman!

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become fairly quiet until now, and me and Ray were relaxing looking through a few old articles. It was an uncommon tranquil time in Bedfordshire. It was in fact so tranquil that when the telephone finally rang I leaped! The person stated: "I ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel faithful Seat". We told him to let us know just where the car was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Wrestlingworth not as much as an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back to the office we found two girls on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out 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.
