It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the football, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Gotham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel green Peugeot 407 rental car in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN39 Postcode - Gotham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Saturday and I was off to help an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel buff Renault Espace in Gotham. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only got it several days back after my other one, which I used for about 30 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious East Sussex lady!

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.
