It was around six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the recent football, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Barnard Gate and put petrol in her diesel beloved BMW 1 Series lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly affected apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you’ve put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Barnard Gate - Wrong Fuel in Car Barnard Gate

I enjoyed a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a young couple on holiday in Barnard Gate. They had pulled over after inserting petrol in their baby blue Ford Focus, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Barnard Gate

Now I am not very excited about running weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just come away from the family after a superb dinner made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a guy who filled the incorrect petrol in his beloved Volkswagen Jetta. He was located in Barnard Gate thus I was with him almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my mind on stuff and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any harm through driving it?" I explained there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that also I would remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then yet another happy motorist was able to continue on their trip without any subsequent fuss. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this helps make operating on weekends in Oxfordshire just that small bit better for me!

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.
