It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in East Cholderton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel new Audi TT lease car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

We're able to help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They can also handle any of the normal issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you have started the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or 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

    • 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.

  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.
