It was before 5 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Handy Cross and filled petrol in a diesel deep grey Porsche Cayman lease car by mistake. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't start the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
