It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Bartington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Honda CR-X hire car. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cheshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly 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.
