It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the recent footy, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Froxfield Green and put petrol in her diesel apple green Citron Picasso lease car. She was rather affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Yet another job in Hampshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Froxfield Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Froxfield Green

I'd had a wonderful day golfing during my off day and felt pleased the next day as I was en route to help a new couple vacationing in Froxfield Green. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their clean white Hyundai Entourage, and they were around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on daily basis in Hampshire and that it's really nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I would never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Froxfield Green

A teenager who had only got his licence had misfueled his clean white Smart Forfour by having petrol in the diesel car at the filling station near Froxfield Green. He said, "This is only the third time I have filled up my car from the time when I bought it and I have no clue of how to handle it." He was anxious because his father had just paid for the car. He located our company on the internet and so called it immediately, frightened about what he needed to do. Our man on the phones explained to him that we would be with him within forty five minutes and to not do anything to his car while he waited. We carried out the fuel drain on his car and he mentioned how amazed he was it was taken care of so speedily and without any consequence at all.

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was around 2:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and me and Ryan were sitting about reading a few old newspapers. That was an uncommon restful hour in Hampshire. It was in fact that relaxing that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I leaped! The motorist on the other end told me: "I've finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the aunt's Peugeot Partner". We told him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Froxfield Green 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us for coming so fast. As we were heading back to the office we spotted two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
