It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the sixth job for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Eardiston and put petrol in her diesel cyan Toyota Yaris rental car. The unfortunate lady was very affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance from us, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

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


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Shropshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SY11 Postcode - Eardiston Misfueling

A lady had come to a stop on a road, Eardiston having just misfueled. She was in tears and fairly agitated as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we tried to relax her as well as we could, assuring her that it would be fine. When we got to her she was no longer upset and was quite intrigued in observing our engineer perform the fuel drain on her metallic blue Ford Escort. Soon after she said: "My car is like my baby, I recently purchased it so it especially horrified me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly pleased that it was easily repairable."

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.
