It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting going over the weekend's footy, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Upper Ratley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel canary yellow Toyota RAV4 rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and not so worried. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upper Ratley - Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Ratley

I had a perfect afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following day as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Upper Ratley. They had conked out after filling diesel into their wife's Fiat Nuova 500, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this happens on daily basis in Hampshire and that it's really nothing to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.
