Petrol in your diesel vehicle in Rye Harbour? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Phone us and find out exactly how we are able to assist you to get you back on the road again.

It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Rye Harbour and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel rugged Audi Allroad hire car. She was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In East Sussex we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you end up in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN31 Postcode - Rye Harbour Misfueling

A relatively concerned customer phoned us from the Esso petrol station at East Sussex to inform us that he had put unleaded in his diesel creamy white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it. We informed him it was no worry and quickly had our man out to him to drain the contaminated fuel from his car. Having purged the wrong fuel, he was soon back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the chap who appeared to undertake the fuel drain was very excellent - he did not make me look and feel an idiot."

We go to in excess of 4,000 contaminated fuel removals annually in the UK (indeed, there are that many people today who also make the mistake - you are not by yourself). Our lines are open 24 hours a day and every day of the week. Our engineers are on duty any time you require them.

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.
