It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Dunthrop and put the wrong fuel in her diesel apricot Bentley Continental lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen.

Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in case you may have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Whenever you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
