The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BA12 Postcode - Boreham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were off to assist an old sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel super Ford Taurus in Boreham. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a rural road on route to visit her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had just acquired it a few days ago when my former one, which I had owned for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Wiltshire woman!

We are thoroughly licenced and insured and thus you understand your vehicle is in dependable hands. With more than one hundred and fifty years of combined wrong fuel drain expertise we know how to have the task completed - no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Boreham

Now I'm not excessively inclined to working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just come away from the family following a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was off to sort out a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his racing green Land Rover. He was only in Boreham so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and did not realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any kind of problems simply by driving it?" I stated there shouldn't be any problems and that also I'd personally drain the fuel at once. Needless to say I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus yet another contented client was able to continue their journey with no difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that makes working on Sundays in Wiltshire just that little bit better to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Boreham - Fuel Rescue Boreham

A lady from Boreham with her little ones in her diesel cream Vauxhall Insignia had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She phoned us crying and really distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what would happen to her car . We reassured her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
