It was before ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting discussing the golf results, prepared for the 6th job to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in March and put the wrong fuel in a diesel aunt's Peugeot 406 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

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

As the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Just had a quality night's sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to assist an old woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel apple green Renault Kangoo in March. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was pulled up along a backwater lane en route to visit her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just purchased it a few days ago because my old one, which I used for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Cambridgeshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist March - Wrong Fuel in Car March

A man contacted us from his house on a close in March. He said, "My vehicle (a white Audi S8) is not starting up and is creating dreadful noises when I flip the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.

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.
