It was just after 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were resting there talking over the recent football rankings, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in South Croydon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel son's Ford Focus ST rental. The poor lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we could get to the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Croydon well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Croydon we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
