It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Langley Corner and put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Suzuki Vitara rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Langley Corner - Wrong Fuel in Car Langley Corner

I'd had a perfect afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Langley Corner. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their mate's BMW X6, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her spouse for being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs on daily basis in Buckinghamshire and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd never live it down!

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.
