It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth call that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Edingley and put petrol in her diesel pristine Mercedes Sprinter 3500 hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Nottinghamshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you get in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical competence and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NG22 Postcode - Edingley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to assist an older lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic yellow BMW 750 in Edingley. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a week ago when my previous car, which I had owned for about twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Nottinghamshire lady!

It truly was the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had become quite dead thus far, and Mark and I were relaxing perusing a few old papers. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Nottinghamshire. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped! The person explained: "I only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my classic Jeep Wrangler in error". I got him to tell us where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Edingley less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were going back home we saw two women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we pulled over to help 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 VAT 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.
