It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were resting talking over the rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Selhurst and put petrol in her diesel rugged Volvo960 rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another job in Croydon done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Croydon we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding how to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.
Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Selhurst
Now I'm not so keen on running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just departed the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a gentleman after he put the wrong petrol in his uncle's Mercedes Sprinter 3500. He was stationed in Selhurst hence it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created damage by simply starting it?" I said generally there shouldn't be harm and that also I'd personally drain the fuel as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so one more happy client could carry on with their journey without the difficulty. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Croydon just a little bit easier in my opinion!

She had put petrol in her diesel green BMW Z8 and, like many before her, imagined that she could just fill up her tank with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside an hour while she was in the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you fixed my car."

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.
