It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the seventh job to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Western Downs and put the wrong fuel in a diesel modified Peugeot 508 lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in ST17 Postcode - Western Downs Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to help an old lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel beautiful Porsche Carrera GT in Western Downs. I had been told she had left the filling station and broken down along a country lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd just acquired it a few days back because my former car, which I had for more than 30 years, finally died on me". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Staffordshire woman!

I had appreciated a perfect evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to help a young couple away in Western Downs. They broken down after adding diesel in their clean white Ford Fusion, and were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place continuously in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

We fairly recently got a phone call from a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his clean white Dodge Sprinter in Western Downs. He had conked out on the road. "I was surprised at how speedy you people were in getting someone out to aid me after I stupidly filled my car with the wrong fuel. I'm very grateful". Needless to say we showed up rapidly and flushed the engine after draining all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. The client was pleased as punch by the time we finished and he was able to drive off cheerful.

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.
