It was before five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting there going over the weekend's golf, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Havering-atte-Bower and put petrol in a diesel mint condition Renault Clio hire car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Havering done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Havering we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and I was off to assist an old woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Suzuki Reno in Havering-atte-Bower. She told us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a rural lane on the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd just bought it several days back after my previous car, which I had for over twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Havering 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.
