It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the 8th call to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Streatley and filled petrol in her diesel shiny Citron C4 lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bedfordshire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course never crank the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

This was the night shift. It was about 3:30am and nobody was about. It was quite quiet up to now, and me and Brian were relaxing browsing several old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil moment in Bedfordshire. It was so calm that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The customer on the phone stated: "I've just ended my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the friend's Mercedes-Benz R-Class by mistake". We got him to tell us where the vehicle was and we set off, ending up in Streatley an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were going back to the office we noticed two ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
