It was just before five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated commenting on the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the seventh job to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Hampstead Norreys and put petrol in her diesel navy blue Audi A5 rental car in error. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles from the office, we could get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another job in Berkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Berkshire we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
