It was around eight pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football results, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Heddington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue Citron C4 rental car by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Wiltshire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

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

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and I was on the way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel maroon Range Rover Evoque in Heddington. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only bought it a few days ago when my other car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually died". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Wiltshire woman!

Therefore, in case you've topped up your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel automobile anywhere in Wiltshire, phone us right now. Our competent technicians are completely ready for your call.

We were contacted by a gentleman whose precious Mercedes-Benz M-Class had broken down on a street because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps confused and pumped the wrong fuel in my car . You arrived and sorted out the problem right after my car died." We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system meticulously and the gentleman could then continue with his scheduled delivery.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing about browsing a number of old articles. It was an uncommon quiet hour in Wiltshire. Actually it was indeed that quiet that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel black BMW X5 by mistake". I told him to let us know where exactly he was situated and we left, arriving in Heddington no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor. He said thank you for coming out so rapidly. While we were returning to the office we noticed two women at the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, 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.
