They can also take care of any of the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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 VAT 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.
