It was around 7 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis results, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Crux Easton and filled petrol in her diesel winter grey Peugeot 406 hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Crux Easton - Wrong Fuel in Car Crux Easton

I had appreciated a great day golfing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next working day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were away in Crux Easton. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their metallic blue Daihatsu Rocky, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked as I heard to the lady berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs everyday in Hampshire and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally 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.
