It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting talking over the rugby results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Castletown and put petrol in her diesel apricot Volvo V40 hire car. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

What you should do if you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I was so stressed about it that I was actually in tears. But I needn't have worried seeing as you were excellent in dealing with the problem."

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2am and nobody was about. It was rather quiet so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing perusing a number of old magazines. This was an uncommon calm moment in Staffordshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when my mobile rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the other end told me: "I've just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in a Ferarri red Porsche Cayenne". We told him to let us know where exactly he was and we left, getting to him in Castletown not as much as 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were going back to the office we spotted two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to change it, 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.
