It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there talking over the recent sports, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Tingrith and put petrol in a diesel mint green Toyota Land Cruiser rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Bedfordshire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in MK17 Postcode - Tingrith Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel dad's Chevrolet Suburban in Tingrith. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded on a rural lane along the way to see her family. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a couple of days back when my old car, which I had had for about twenty years, inevitably died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Bedfordshire lady!

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my off day and felt cheerful the following working day as I set off to help a new couple who were away in Tingrith. They conked out after filling diesel in their work's Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on on a regular basis in Bedfordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor guy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
