It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting going over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Bargate and filled petrol in her diesel classic Mercedes SL65 AMG rental car. She was very affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE56 Postcode - Bargate Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was en route to help an older lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel compact Porsche Carrera GT in Bargate. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just purchased it several days ago because my former one, which I used for more than twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Derbyshire lady!

We hold comprehensive Environment Agency registration and full Public Liability Insurance for your reassurance. Having over one hundred and fifty years of total fuel drain experience we know exactly how to get the task finished - no mess, no hassle.

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.
