It was before 6 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Lanham Green and filled petrol in her diesel uncle's Volvo V50 rental. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the customer quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lanham Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Lanham Green

I had a perfect day hiking on the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Lanham Green. They'd pulled over after adding diesel in their shiny Hyundai Excel, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing takes place everyday in Essex and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
