It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing going over the recent football results, at the ready for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Ashton-in-Makerfield and filled petrol in a diesel dirty red BMW 550 rental in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, since it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue fluid 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 VA 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.
