It was before six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the golf rankings, ready for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Lynch Hill and filled petrol in her diesel modified Hyundai Tiburon rental car in error. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

A customer had come to a halt on a street, Lynch Hill having just misfueled. She was crying and fairly distressed as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we made an effort to calm her as best we could, assuring her that all would be no problem. By the time we reached her she was no longer distressed and was rather interested in observing our engineer complete the fuel drain on her pristine Alfa Romeo164.

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.
