It was around five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Minting and filled petrol in her diesel beautiful Mercedes Sprinter 3500 rental by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
