It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Combe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green Nissan Armada hire car. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Oxfordshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her office.

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.
