It was just after seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there going over the footy, at the ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Gannetts and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel trusty Porsche 911 rental in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less worried. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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 VA 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.
