The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do if you may have poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR6 Postcode - The Marsh Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel pristine Saab 9-4X in The Marsh. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was broken down on a backwater lane on the way to visit her family. I got her location punched in the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just got it a short while back when my former one, which I had had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Herefordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist The Marsh - Wrong Fuel in Car The Marsh

I appreciated a perfect day hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family holidaying in The Marsh. They had stopped after adding diesel in their rugged Mercedes M-Class, and the car was approximately an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this goes on continuously in Herefordshire and that it's really nothing to worry about, but he still had an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and thought about what my wife would tell me if ever I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances 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.
