It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were resting there going over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Whaddon Gap and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Toyota Corolla rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. A job in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SG8 Postcode - Whaddon Gap Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an older lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Jaguar X-Type in Whaddon Gap. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater road on route to see her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago because my old car, which I'd had for over twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious Cambridgeshire lady!

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about 2:30am and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly dead so far, and Paul and I were loafing around looking through several old newspapers. This was a rare quiet hour in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment my mobile rang it made me jump! The person stated: "I've finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my super Seat Alhumbra by mistake". I asked him to let us know where the car was located and we left, ending up in Whaddon Gap less than half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. As we were heading back to the office we found two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
