Our technician was called to a petrol station in Hambrook when a young lady put the wrong fuel in her blue Renault Traffic by putting petrol in her diesel car. She was in an aggravated and bewildered mentality but we soon eased her anxiety by telling her that we could be out to her within an hour to carry out the necessary work and that the car would before long be running and she'd be off again. As we had stated she was just that, but not before saying: "Your firm is incredibly service oriented, I'm really happy that my car is okay," and that she'd recommend us to anyone.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BS16 Postcode - Hambrook Misfueling

A rather concerned customer called us from the Texaco petrol station at Gloucestershire to inform us that he put unleaded into his diesel mint green Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG; he wasn't exactly sure how he'd managed to do it. We advised him it was absolutely no worry and before long had our engineer out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having purged the contaminated fuel, he was soon back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the person who was sent to perform the fuel drain was especially pleasant - he didn't make me feel like a plonker."

We are properly licenced and covered with insurance so you recognise the automobile is in reliable hands. Furthermore, our techs are completely qualified and skilled in dealing with just about all makes.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hambrook

Now I am not actually overly keen on running on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home after having a fantastic roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his metallic red Chevrolet Malibu. He was only in Hambrook hence I was with him soon. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on damage by running it?" I said generally there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and so another delighted customer had the ability to carry on with their journey without any difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that tends to make working on Sundays in Gloucestershire that little easier in my opinion!

A man who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel metallic grey Ford Transit called us for assistance at the Texaco petrol filling station in Hambrook. He decided to fill up before proceeding on to the local recreation park . "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which probably wasn't a good start to our holiday break." It was definitely no hassle in the least for our fuel drainer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they had a good holiday.

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.
