It was before 9 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the recent football rankings, waiting for the next telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Thunder Hill and put petrol in her diesel aunt's Fiat Bravo lease car. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Norfolk we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

A lady had broken down on a road, Thunder Hill having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and truly distressed as she had put £42 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, telling her that it would be fine.

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.
