It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting talking about the recent football rankings, at the ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Cranbrook and filled petrol in her diesel metallic green Land Rover Defender 110 hire car. The poor thing was very affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Redbridge well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
