It was close to six pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Finally we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Whitchurch-on-Thames and put the wrong fuel in a diesel friend's Cadillac Escalade ESV hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel
Throughout Oxfordshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.
So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
In the event that you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
