The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Should you get in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Handside

Now I am not necessarily so hot for carrying out work weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left the family following a tasty roast prepared by the missus, and I was off to help a guy after he put the wrong fuel in his deep grey Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. He was situated in Handside and so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some damage because of driving it?" I determined generally there should not be any harm and that I'd drain the fuel right away. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more delighted customer was able to continue on his traveling without difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this tends to make operating on weekends in Hertfordshire just a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
