It was close to 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the sports, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Whyle and put petrol in her diesel light green Ford Escort hire car. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR6 Postcode - Whyle Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Porsche Cayenne in Whyle. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I had only bought it a short while back after my former one, which I had owned for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Herefordshire lady!

It does not matter whether your car is brand new or classic, we have the skills, knowledge AND gear to make sure that your vehicle is drained and flushed of any contaminated fuel immediately, so you have the ability to proceed with your drive with the bare minimum disruption.

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set off to aid a young couple holidaying in Whyle. They had stopped after adding diesel in their deep grey Volkswagen Jetta, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Whyle

A youngster who had recently got his licence had wrong fueled his maroon BMW 600 by putting petrol in the diesel at the service station in Whyle. He said, "This is only the third time I have put fuel in my vehicle from the time when I got it and I don't know what to do." He was worried because his father had only just bought him the car. He discovered our company on the internet and so called it instantly, scared about what he should do. Our guy on the phones explained to him that we would be on scene in 45 minutes and to not move the car while waiting. We finished the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how amazed he was that it was completed so quickly and with not much complication whatsoever.

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite quiet until now, and Brian and I were sitting around reading through a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil time in Herefordshire. It was so relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The person stated: "I only just concluded my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel compact Volkswagen Golf III in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the car was and we left, ending up in Whyle less than half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were heading back to base we noticed two women at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we stopped and helped them 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.
