It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and me were seated talking over the weekend's football, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Charney Bassett and put the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's BMW Z4 rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never switch on the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Charney Bassett

Now I am not very excited about carrying out work Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just come away from home after eating a fantastic Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was en route to help a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his modern Jeep Commander. He was only in Charney Bassett hence I was there soon. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and failed to ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any kind of problems by simply running it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any harm and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another happy client could continue on his traveling without any subsequent hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Oxfordshire just that tiny bit easier in my opinion!

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.
