It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting there commenting on the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Ickford and put petrol in a diesel blue Mercedes-Benz SL-Class hire car. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ickford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HP18 Postcode - Ickford Misfueling

A woman had come to a halt on a road, Ickford just after having misfueled. She was sobbing and fairly distressed as she had put £60 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we attempted to relax her as best we could, assuring her that everything would be ok. By the time we got to her she was no longer troubled and was pretty fascinated in watching our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her white Audi riolet. Soon after she said: "My car is akin to my baby, I just purchased it and so it honestly concerned me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm very pleased that it was so very easily repairable."

We care for your car with our full licencing and insurance cover. With in excess of one hundred and fifty years of joint wrong fuel removal expertise we know the correct way to have the task completed - no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ickford - Wrong Fuel in Car Ickford

I had a great day golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Ickford. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their white Kia Rio, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing occurs regularly in Buckinghamshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ickford

A teen who had only recently got his licence had wrong fueled his grey BMW M Roadster by having unleaded in his diesel car at the filling station near Ickford. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have fueled my vehicle since I purchased it and I do not know how to handle it." He was scared since his dad had just paid for the car. He discovered our company on the web and so called it instantly, scared about what he should do. Our person on the telephones told him that we would be with him within forty five minutes and to not move his vehicle while waiting. We did the drain on his car and he said how surprised he was it was dealt with so rapidly and without consequence whatsoever.

This was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting reading several old articles. This was an uncommon calm hour in Buckinghamshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment the telephone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end explained: "I've just concluded my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my matte black Mitsubishi Montero by mistake". I asked him to let us know where he was located and we headed out, arriving in Ickford not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so fast. As we were coming back home we noticed two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
