It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were seated discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Pettywell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Fiat 500 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Norfolk we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

They will fix the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR10 Postcode - Pettywell Misfueling

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were off to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel brand new Chrysler Voyager in Pettywell. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd only just got it a few days back when my previous one, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Norfolk lady!

This was exactly the night shift. It was around sunrise and noone was stirring. It was quite quiet up to now, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through a few old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet time in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The voice said: "I've concluded my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my modified Smart Car". We asked him to inform us where he was and we set off, ending up in Pettywell under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for showing up so fast. While we were coming back to the depot we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
