It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking about the football rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Doughton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's BMW Z4 M Roadster rental car. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. A job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you may have poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Monday and we were off to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow BMW 330 in Doughton. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a backwater lane on the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only acquired it a few days back because my former one, which I used for over twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. What a lovely Norfolk lady!

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.
