It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the sports results, at the ready for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Biggin and put the wrong fuel in her diesel super Mazda B-Series rental car. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. Yet another job in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Saturday and we were en route to assist an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel work's Cadillac CTS-V in Biggin. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a few days back after my old one, which I'd used for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Derbyshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Biggin

It must be horrible being stuck in a automobile running on the improper fuel in the middle of the street. Recently a customer who filled her diesel car with petrol (mum's BMW 550) in Biggin encountered precisely that kind of dilemma: "As you know I mistakenly put unleaded in my diesel car a few days ago. I was so upset about contaminating my fuel that I was besides myself. Fortunately I shouldn't have concerned myself as you were brilliant in draining and cleaning my car."

This really was the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been fairly uneventful so far, and me and John were sitting around looking at some old magazines. That was a rare tranquil time in Derbyshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice stated: "I just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my company's Citron DS3 in error". We instructed him to let us know where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Biggin less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we found two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to 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.
