It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the tennis results, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Ruardean and put petrol in her diesel red Isuzu i-370 hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
