It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Aston Somerville and put petrol in her diesel son's VW Fox lease car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Worcestershire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Worcestershire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
