It was after 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Clerkenwell and put petrol in her diesel baby blue Vauxhall Corsa rental. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Southwark done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination
In Southwark we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.
Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?
Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Boat Fuel Drains

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

A woman driving in Clerkenwell phoned us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel rugged VW Golf and, like many prior to her, thought that she could just fill up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be fine. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within an hour while she was at the office.

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.
