It was after 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there discussing the weekend's golf results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Wimble Hill and filled petrol in her diesel new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Another job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in case you have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
