It was after 6 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting there going over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Shipmeadow and filled petrol in her diesel metallic red Volvo V50 lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely never switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way 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.
