It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the recent footy results, ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Peldon and filled petrol in a diesel canary yellow Saab 9-4X hire car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CO5 Postcode - Peldon Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and we were on my way to help an old lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel old Cadillac Escalade EXT in Peldon. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just acquired it a short while ago because my old car, which I'd used for about twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a precious Essex lady!

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.
