Wrong fuel in your car in Down Park? You've come to the right people. We are able to aid you in your hour of need and get you running again with our dedicated fuel removal services.

It was after 5 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated going over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Down Park and filled petrol in her diesel customised Peugeot 405 hire car. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. Another job in West Sussex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around West Sussex we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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:

    • 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.

  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.
