It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there talking about the footy results, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Harley and filled petrol in her diesel cream Suzuki Kizashi rental car by mistake. She was very affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you end up in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical know-how and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY5 Postcode - Harley Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and I was on the way to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel baby blue Ford Aspire in Harley. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and broken down in a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just got it a week back right after my other car, which I'd owned for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Shropshire lady!

This really was the night shift. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was fairly dead thus far, and me and Paul were sitting looking at several old papers. This was an uncommon restful time in Shropshire. It was indeed so calm that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end explained: "I've only just ended my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in the dark blue Mazda B2500 in error". I instructed him to let us know just where the car was situated and we set off, arriving in Harley no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the motor. He thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. While we were returning to the depot we saw two women at the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
