It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated discussing the football, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Netherthorpe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green Cadillac Seville rental car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
