It was around 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were seated there discussing the recent sports rankings, ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Isington and put petrol in her diesel stylish Volvo C30 lease car. She was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could reach her swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. One more job in Hampshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely do not start up the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU34 Postcode - Isington Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Wednesday and I was on my way to help an old lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel daughter's Audi A6 in Isington. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and stranded on a country lane on route to visit her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had only just bought it a couple of days ago because my former one, which I had used for in excess of twenty years, eventually died". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Hampshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Isington - Wrong Fuel in Car Isington

I appreciated a wonderful evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Isington. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their pristine Mitsubishi Endeavor, and were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation happens regularly in Hampshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

We did a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a lovely property in Isington not so long ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost get home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and carried out a thorough fuel drain and purge on the partner's Vauxhall Astra to everyone's satisfaction.

A driver who had unfortunately put unleaded in his diesel grass green Jaguar XJ called us for assistance at the BP filling station in Isington. He decided to fill up before going on to the nearby recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which wasn't a great beginning to our getaway." It was definitely no hassle at all for our fuel drainer to go along and perform the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their getaway.

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.
