It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent tennis, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Pingewood and put petrol in her diesel buff Porsche Boxster hire car in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Berkshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Should you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
