It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 8th job that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Lower Ashtead and put petrol in a diesel cobalt blue Saab 9-4X lease car. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We can easily help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

A man had stopped just off a street in Lower Ashtead. His deep grey Audi motor had stopped running and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.

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.
