It was around five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were resting discussing the rugby rankings, ready for the 6th call to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Ganders Green and filled petrol in a diesel new-shape Austin Mini Cooper rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ganders Green

We did a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a lovely property in Ganders Green a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost reach home when my car quit." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and purge on the dark red Ford Escort .

A woman living in Ganders Green phoned us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel daughter's Audi Q7 and, like countless prior to her, imagined that she could just fill the tank with diesel and it'd be okay. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired inside one hour while she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely relieved you fixed my vehicle."

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.
