It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the football, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Stanway and put petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow Fiat Nuova 500 lease car. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains

We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

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

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
