It was just before five pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting going over the tennis, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Leigh Delamere and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Mazda lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Wiltshire we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN14 Postcode - Leigh Delamere Misfueling

A somewhat alarmed motorist phoned us from the Total petrol station at Wiltshire to advise us that he had put unleaded in his diesel green Cadillac CTS-V; he wasn't actually sure how he'd done it.

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.
