It was around 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were seated there talking about the recent golf rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Tackley and filled petrol in her diesel burgundy red Mitsubishi Outlander hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another job in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Oxfordshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
