A customer conked out on a road in Gravesend needed a fuel drain about a month back. His rust red Seat Altea was stopped roadside after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he rang us but a little anxious to get his car out of the road because he was generating considerable congestion. We were on scene in 15 minutes since our drainer was in nearby Gravesend and had just completed his previous job. He said, "I simply can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck here! My car was so spluttery I simply had to pull over and after that it just cut out."

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Newham we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.
Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?
Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
If perhaps you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Gravesend
We not long ago got a phone call from a man who put the incorrect fuel in his deep grey Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in Gravesend. He had broken down on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the dilemma till I broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning once again. I was happy by both your call-out time and your value for money". It goes without saying that we arrived rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. The client was smiling again by the time we finished and he drove off cheerful.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Gravesend - Fuel Rescue Gravesend
A lady from Gravesend with a full car of youngsters in her diesel compact VW Touareg had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She called us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never wrong fueled previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle . We told her that the vehicle would be alright and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children on board."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
