It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there going over the weekend's footy, ready for the seventh job that day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Drayton Bassett and put the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Land Rover Defender rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

I had appreciated a terrific day cycling during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to help a young family who were on vacation in Drayton Bassett. They conked out after filling diesel into their matte black Land Rover Defender 110, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Staffordshire and that it's really nothing at all to stress about, however he still got an earful. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

She had filled petrol in her diesel father's BMW 745 and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to just top up the tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired within one hour while she was working.

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.
