It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were seated there commenting on the golf, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Tidebrook and filled petrol in her diesel gorgeous BMW 1 Series lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. A fuel drain in East Sussex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In East Sussex we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN5 Postcode - Tidebrook Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and I was off to assist an old sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel wife's Citron C4 in Tidebrook. I had been told she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she told me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only bought it a short while ago right after my other one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious East Sussex woman!

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.
