It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the golf results, waiting for the next job to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in West Thurrock and put the wrong fuel in a diesel sky blue BMW 330 rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Essex we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you get in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Just had a fantastic night's sleep!

She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a country lane on the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only acquired it a short while back after my previous one, which I used for about twenty years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Essex 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.
