It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports results, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Weston Colville and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Chevrolet Suburban hire car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 3:30am and noone was about. It had been fairly quiet thus far, and me and Paul were loafing around reading through a couple of old magazines. This was a rare quiet moment in Cambridgeshire. It was in fact so quiet that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist explained: "I've just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in a dirty red Renault in error". I asked him to let us know exactly where he was located and we set off, reaching him in Weston Colville an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. While we were returning home we found two ladies at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, much 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.
