It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting discussing the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Elkins Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel light blue Cadillac DTS rental. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In case you end up in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Elkins Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Elkins Green

I had appreciated a terrific day cycling during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple on holiday in Elkins Green. They had broken down after adding petrol into their mustard yellow Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens all the time in Essex and that it is nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the same error... I would 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.
