It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and me were seated going over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Reddish and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel stylish Dodge Challenger rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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 VA 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.
