It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Gants Hill and filled petrol in a diesel mint green VW Tiguan hire car in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Redbridge well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Redbridge we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in IG2 Postcode - Gants Hill Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel beautiful Lexus LFA in Gants Hill. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down in a rural road on the way to see her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had only bought it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Redbridge lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Gants Hill

Now I'm not that excited about doing work on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a magnificent dinner prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to help a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his pristine Mitsubishi Expo. He was only in Gants Hill and so I arrived there quickly. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other stuff and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on harm through running it?" I said that generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that also I would drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and thus yet another contented motorist was able to continue his trip without any bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what makes operating on weekends in Redbridge that little easier for me personally!

Standard Petrol in Diesel Symptoms:

Here is a list of typical wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Losing vehicle power
  • Engine dying, stuttering or coughing
  • A tough time starting the car
  • Increased smoking

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.
