It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's sports, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Brookhouses and put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Mitsubishi Outlander hire car. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become rather quiet so far, and John and I were sitting around browsing a couple of old magazines. This was an unusual peaceful moment in Derbyshire. It was indeed that quiet that the instant my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the phone said: "I have just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my stylish VW Eos in error". I asked him to let us know exactly where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Brookhouses an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to 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.
