It was around six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the football, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Newthorpe Common and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Mercedes Sprinter 3500 rental car. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. Yet another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Nottinghamshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
