It was about 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were resting going over the recent golf results, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in East Farndon and put petrol in a diesel bright yellow Mazda RX-8 rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we could reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and less concerned.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northamptonshire we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Northamptonshire woman!

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.
