It was just after eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there talking over the sports rankings, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Wexham Street and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel customised VW Eos lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SL3 Postcode - Wexham Street Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to help an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel dark red Volvo C30 in Wexham Street. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a rural road on the way to see her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only just got it several days back after my other car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Buckinghamshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wexham Street

I am certainly not so excited about carrying out work on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from the family filled with a fantastic lunch prepared by the missus, and I was off to help a fellow after he put the incorrect fuel in his green Hyundai Scoupe. He was only in Wexham Street therefore I was on scene before long. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any kind of damage through starting it?" I determined generally there should not be any kind of damage and that I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus another content motorist could carry on with his ride without any hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this tends to make operating on weekends in Buckinghamshire just that little bit less painful in my opinion!

It was definitely no hassle at all for our engineer to go along and perform the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.

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.
