It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Hawkesbury and put petrol in her diesel apricot Suzuki Kizashi rental. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!

We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Warwickshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Warwickshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

A motorist had stopped off a street in Hawkesbury. His son's Vauxhall Corsa engine had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got no sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason why.

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about 3 in the morning and nobody was about. It had been fairly uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were sitting about looking at a number of old articles. It was an uncommon peaceful moment in Warwickshire. It was indeed so calm that when the telephone rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the other end said: "I just ended my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in a buff Audi S8 in error". We asked him to inform us where he was situated and we set off, ending up in Hawkesbury under an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor and he said many thanks for coming so fast. While we were coming back to base we noticed two girls at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
