It was before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the football rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Saxby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel super Audi Coupe GT rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was residing in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Sussex we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Saxby

Now I'm not that enthusiastic about running Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just departed home after eating a magnificent dinner made for me by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman who put the wrong fuel in his customised Mercedes S-Class. He was only in Saxby hence I arrived there very quickly. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on harm simply by driving it?" I determined that generally there probably should not be harm and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more pleased motorist had the ability to continue their journey without difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes operating on weekends in West Sussex just a tiny bit easier for me!

A lady living in Saxby contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel cream Volvo960 and, like many people before her, assumed that she could basically fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd be alright. The car was spluttering and then it died when she came to the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour while she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you fixed my vehicle."

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.
