It was about 5 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting commenting on the sports, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Winterbourne Down and filled petrol in a diesel partner's Citron C4 rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly never crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In case you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
