It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were sitting discussing the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Whitehill and filled petrol in her diesel metallic red BMW 1 Series hire car by mistake. She was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you get in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical know-how and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN6 Postcode - Whitehill Misfueling

A young lady had conked out on a street, Whitehill having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and very troubled as she had put £60 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we attempted to calm her as best we could, reassuring her that everything would be no problem. When we got to her she was no longer troubled and was intrigued in observing our technician do the fuel drain on her bright white BMW Z4. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my baby, I recently paid for it and thus it honestly horrified me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was so easily repairable."

We are properly compliant and covered so you understand that your motor vehicle is in dependable hands. Regardless of whether you are driving an archaic banger or a cutting edge sports-car we are able to help.

Wrong Fuel Assist Whitehill - Wrong Fuel in Car Whitehill

I had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to assist a new couple holidaying in Whitehill. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their partner's Peugeot 309, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I listened to the woman berating her spouse for being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in East Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same blunder... I would personally 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.
