It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and me were resting commenting on the footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Jacks Hatch and put petrol in her diesel light blue Renault Twingo rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Essex we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.
So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car?
Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
