The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!

We can easily get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Warwickshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely don't switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Atherstone - Wrong Fuel in Car Atherstone

I had a great afternoon golfing during my day off and was feeling contented the following day as I was on the way to help a young family holidaying in Atherstone. They had conked out after adding diesel in their modern Dodge Sprinter, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife berating her hubby for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on a regular basis in Warwickshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky lad. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!

A woman working in Atherstone phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel baby blue Audi RS 4 and, like many prior to her, assumed that she could just top up the vehicle with diesel and it'd be alright. The car was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted in an hour or so while she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very relieved you sorted 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.
