It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and I were seated there going over the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Southborough and put the wrong fuel in a diesel elegant Citron DS3 lease car in error. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from the office, we could get to the customer fairly quickly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kingston upon Thames we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
