It was around seven pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the football results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Northcourt and put the wrong fuel in a diesel grass green Peugeot 207 rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Should you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly 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:

  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.
