It was just after 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the recent golf rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Claypits and put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Porsche Cayenne hire car. The poor thing was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL10 Postcode - Claypits Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Monday and I was on the way to assist an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel cream Jaguar XK in Claypits. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a backwater road along the way to see her family. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a short while back after my old one, which I'd used for over thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Claypits

I am certainly not excessively enthusiastic about doing work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed the family following a tasty roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was on my way to help a gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his dark blue Peugeot Expert. He was somewhere in Claypits hence I was with him soon. As I arrived behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my mind on other things and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any problems by driving it?" I said there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I would personally drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and so another satisfied customer could carry on with his journey with no hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Gloucestershire just a tiny bit better for me personally!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 3:30am and almost noone was around. It was fairly quiet until now, and Mark and I were relaxing perusing some old articles. This was a rare calm time in Gloucestershire. It was in fact that quiet that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone said: "I just completed my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel precious Mazda B2600". We got him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Claypits no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were coming back to the office we noticed two ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we stopped 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.
