It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Heather and put petrol in a diesel racing green Kia Rio rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Leicestershire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

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

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Should you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Heather - Wrong Fuel in Car Heather

I had a great evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling contented the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple holidaying in Heather. They'd conked out after inserting petrol into their bright red Audi A8, and the car was roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this goes on frequently in Leicestershire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would do to me if ever I made the same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
