It was close to ten pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the football results, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Withersfield and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel company's BMW 6 Series rental car. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

If you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
