It was just before seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there talking over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Coulsdon and put petrol in a diesel classic Ford Transit Connect rental by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Croydon done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Croydon we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
