It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the golf results, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Halton and put petrol in a diesel new-shape Lexus IS lease car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!

We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix any of the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Buckinghamshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And of course never start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
