It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were sitting there discussing the recent sports, waiting for the next job to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Hermitage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Kia Sorento lease car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hermitage (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They will fix any of the standard troubles that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hermitage - Wrong Fuel in Car Hermitage

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on my day off and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set out to aid a young family who were vacationing in Hermitage. They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their teal Mercedes SLK55 AMG, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass quite frequently in Berkshire and that it's nothing to stress about, but he all the same got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

We have technical engineers on call in the local area all set and waiting to come over and empty your car of the wrong fuel or polluted fuel. We work 24 hours a day and seven days a week. All our technicians are completely skilled and professional in taking on all models of vehicles.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hermitage - Fuel Rescue Hermitage

A lady employed in Hermitage called us after she managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel metallic green Volvo940 and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she would be able to just top up her car with diesel and it would be fine. The car was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired in an hour whilst she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."

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.
