It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there going over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Little Hampden and put petrol in a diesel friend's Porsche Cayman hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Buckinghamshire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was most definitely what we call the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing around looking at a number of old articles. It was an uncommon calm time in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the moment the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The voice said: "I've concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a daughter's Audi 4000CS Quattro by mistake".

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.
