It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the golf, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Manor Park and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel bright white BMW M rental by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and much less worried. A fuel drain in Barking and Dagenham well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Barking and Dagenham we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

A woman employed in Manor Park contacted us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel matte black Saab 9-4X and, like many people prior to her, assumed that she would be able to simply top up her car with diesel and it would run fine. The engine was coughing and then it died when she came to the the front of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted inside an hour whilst she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you sorted my vehicle."

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.
