It was close to seven pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Lambourn and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel boss' VW Beetle hire car. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Berkshire we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG17 Postcode - Lambourn Misfueling

A lady had come to a stop on a road, Lambourn having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was crying and truly distressed as she had put £55 petrol in her diesel 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.
