We're merely a call away.

It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting commenting on the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Moss End and put petrol in a diesel winter grey Seat Arosa rental car. The poor lady was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Berkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Berkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Berkshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being aware of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course never start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG42 Postcode - Moss End Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and I was off to help an elder lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel light blue Renault Master in Moss End. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up along a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she said, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had just got it a few days ago because my other car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Berkshire lady!

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.
