It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and me were resting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Thornton and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Honda Civic GX rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Run out of fuel in Thornton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thornton - Wrong Fuel in Car Thornton

I'd had a wonderful evening cycling on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I set off to aid a young couple holidaying in Thornton. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their burgundy red Vauxhall Zafira, and they were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady berating her partner for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on continuously in Buckinghamshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, however he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.
