It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated discussing the recent rugby results, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Coolham and filled petrol in her diesel pristine Mazda MX-3 lease car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more job in West Sussex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

A young lady from Coolham with a full car of little ones in her diesel navy blue Skoda Yeti had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Co Op station. She contacted us crying and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
