It was around six pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in The Toft and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Mitsubishi rental. She was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains

We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to help an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel navy blue Hyundai Santa Fe in The Toft. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a country road on the way to see her family. I popped her location in the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd only just acquired it several days ago right after my former one, which I had for over twenty five years, finally died on me". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Staffordshire lady!

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.

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.
