It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated there going over the recent football, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Colindale and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver VW Tiguan lease car. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Brent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Brent we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NW9 Postcode - Colindale Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel aunt's Volvo V70 in Colindale. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only got it a couple of days back after my old one, which I'd had for about twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Brent woman!

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 VA 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.
