It was about five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the recent football rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Kilmersdon and put petrol in her diesel trusty Citron DS3 rental. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to help an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel cream BMW 7 Series in Kilmersdon. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd just bought it a week ago after my former one, which I had for over twenty years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Somerset woman!

They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their old Ford Escort, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife berating her spouse for being so daft. "How could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel.

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 VA 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.
