It was around five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were sitting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Mathon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel luxury Porsche Cayman rental car. She was rather distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another job in Herefordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In case you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers 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 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.
