It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Nyetimber and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Mazda B2000 rental. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It was fairly dead up to now, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading through a couple of old articles. It was an uncommon quiet hour in West Sussex. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel classic BMW X6 M by mistake". We instructed him to tell us where the car was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Nyetimber 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said many thanks for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back to the office we found two young ladies on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
