It was around seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting going over the footy, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Shenstone and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apple green BMW X5 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Worcestershire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
