It was around 8 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis results, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Hadleigh Heath and put the wrong fuel in a diesel red Bentley Continental lease car. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Suffolk we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course do not switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

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.
