It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated talking about the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Normanton-on-Cliffe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright red Seat Toledo rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
