It was about seven pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting talking about the weekend's football, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Whaddon and filled petrol in a diesel bright white Citron C4 rental. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Sunday and we were on my way to help an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel modern Volkswagen Golf in Whaddon. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane on route to visit her family. I popped her location into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had just got it a few days ago when my previous one, which I had owned for about twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Wiltshire woman!

A man had broken down off a road in Whaddon. His canary yellow Jaguar XJ Series motor had stopped operating and he had no clue what was wrong until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle."

A woman from Whaddon with her little ones in her diesel racing green Peugeot 505 had put £20 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
