The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stone - Wrong Fuel in Car Stone

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a new family on holiday in Stone. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their dark red Ford Taurus, and the car was close to half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal berating her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on regularly in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. As they drove away I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stone

I am not necessarily too hot for running on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from home filled with a superb roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was off to sort out a guy after he put the wrong petrol in his cyan Land Rover Defender 110. He was somewhere in Stone therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and started work he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on any damage simply by starting it?" I determined that there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some suitable fuel, and thus one more delighted motorist was able to continue their ride without difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on weekends in Staffordshire just that tiny bit better for me!

A woman employed in Stone phoned us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel metallic yellow BMW M and, like many before her, believed that she would be able to simply fill up the tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved in one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased 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:

  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.
