It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting going over the weekend's tennis, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Nuthall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel white Land Rover hire car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. One more job in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Nottinghamshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

I had a great afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling pleased the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young family on vacation in Nuthall. They'd stopped after putting petrol in their dirty red Jaguar XF, and they were around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman berating her spouse for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd never live it down!

A woman from Nuthall with a full car of kids in her diesel spotless Cadillac Sixty Special had put £40 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She contacted us sobbing and really upset as she had never wrong fueled previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that everything should be fine and that she would be on the road quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the children in the back."

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.
