It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy results, ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Claverham and put petrol in a diesel mint condition Kia Spectra rental. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A young lady driving in Claverham contacted us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel compact Daihatsu Rocky and, like countless prior to her, thought that she would be able to basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it'd run okay. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted inside an hour or so while she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really delighted you fixed my vehicle."

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 VA 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.
