It was close to 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Lyme Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel luxury Kia Spectra5 rental. The unfortunate thing was very troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Another job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cheshire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A customer working in Lyme Green phoned us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled car to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel light blue Mazda Navajo and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could simply fill the car with diesel and it would run okay. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in an hour while she was at work. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very relieved you sorted my vehicle."

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.
