It was before eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's sports, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Dukinfield and filled petrol in her diesel partner's Lexus IS hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can 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.
