It was about 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there talking over the tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Lea Marston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Nissan Armada rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out.

We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Warwickshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

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.
