It was before 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting talking about the weekend's footy, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Oakley Wood and filled petrol in a diesel raspberry red Bugatti Veyron rental car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could find her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers 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.
