It was just after five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th call to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Tockenham Wick and put petrol in her diesel son's Daihatsu Rocky hire car. She was rather affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Wiltshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in case you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
