It was close to 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing discussing the recent golf rankings, ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Bandonhill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark green Kia Optima lease car. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Sutton done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Sutton we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

She informed us that she had left the filling station and was pulled up in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a short while back right after my old car, which I had had for over twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Sutton woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Bandonhill - Wrong Fuel in Car Bandonhill

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple on vacation in Bandonhill. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their green Dodge Ram, and were around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Sutton and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

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 VA 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.
