It was just after six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Upper Heyford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel creamy white Volvo240 rental in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and less concerned. A job in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And of course take care not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Upper Heyford

A teenager who had only just passed his driving test had wrong fueled his gorgeous Mercedes-Benz S-Class by getting unleaded in the diesel car at the filling station near Upper Heyford. He said, "This is only the third time I have put fuel in my car since I bought it and I do not know how to proceed." He was also afraid as his father had just recently paid for the car. He came across our company on the web and so called us without delay, frightened about what he needed to do.

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become quite dead so far, and me and Ryan were loafing about perusing some old articles. This was a rare restful time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the other end explained: "I've completed my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a buff Volkswagen GTI". I instructed him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was situated and we set off, ending up in Upper Heyford not as much as 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks for coming so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
