It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Clayhall and put petrol in a diesel silver Daihatsu Charade hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Redbridge well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
