In case you've put the wrong fuel in the car and so need the fuel extracted you are probably searching the net looking for a fast, reputable, professional and a relatively inexpensive fuel drain company in Heckfield Green or Suffolk. Ok, we are the company for your requirements!

It was before 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing there discussing the rugby rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Heckfield Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel trusty Hyundai Entourage hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And of course take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Any time you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical know-how and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Heckfield Green

I am not necessarily that keen on doing work Sundays, and a while back was the same. I'd only just left home after having a tasty dinner prepared by the missus, and I was off to help a gentleman who put the incorrect fuel in his sunflower yellow Ford Escort. He was only in Heckfield Green therefore it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my concentration on other stuff and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any damage because of driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be any problems and that also I'd remove the contaminated fuel immediately for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and one more content motorist was able to continue their ride with no difficulty. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make earning a living on weekends in Suffolk just that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Heckfield Green - Fuel Rescue Heckfield Green

A customer from Heckfield Green with a full car of little ones in her diesel spotless Peugeot 106 had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car should be alright and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the youngsters on board."

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.
