It was just before ten pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Buckley and put petrol in a diesel grass green Honda CR-Z rental in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater Manchester we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel bright red Hyundai Equus in Buckley. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just purchased it a couple of days back after my other car, which I'd used for in excess of 30 years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Greater Manchester lady!

It can't be fun being stuck in a automobile contaminated with the wrong fuel halfway down the street. One of our most recent customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (metallic grey Audi RS 6) in Buckley encountered exactly that type of issue: "Your man removed my car from the live lane. He fixed it and had it running once again after only around 30 minutes. Highly recommended."

A motorist living in Buckley phoned us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled car to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel son's VW Golf III and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply top up her tank with diesel and it'd be okay. The engine was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired within one hour while she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really delighted you fixed my car."

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.
