It was close to five pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the tennis, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Chippenham and put petrol in a diesel mint condition Toyota Land Cruiser rental car. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wiltshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

We not long ago had a call from a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his old Audi S5 in Chippenham. He had broken down on the street. "I couldn't believe how speedy you guys were in getting a fuel drainer out to help me after I foolishly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much".

A lady employed in Chippenham called us after she tried to get her misfueled car to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Nissan Leaf and, like many before her, assumed that she would be able to basically fill up her tank with diesel and it'd run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted inside one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really delighted you fixed my vehicle."

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.
