It was before seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the recent footy, at the ready for the 8th call to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Barlow and put petrol in a diesel modified Fiat lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in S18 Postcode - Barlow Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel super Mercedes S-Class in Barlow. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded in a rural road on the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had just bought it a short while ago when my former car, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Derbyshire woman!

This was most definitely what we call the night shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been quite dead thus far, and me and John were loafing browsing some old newspapers. This was a rare restful hour in Derbyshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that the instant the telephone finally rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the Ferarri red Fiat Multipla by mistake". I got him to tell us where he was and we set off, ending up in Barlow an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. As we were going back to the office we found two women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
