It was close to six pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's footy, waiting around for the seventh call that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Cold Harbour and put the wrong fuel in a diesel gorgeous Volkswagen Fox lease car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Berkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Berkshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

She had put petrol in her diesel cyan Suzuki Verona and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she would be able to just top up the tank with diesel and it would run okay. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved in one hour whilst she was at the office.

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.
