It was after 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! James and I were sitting discussing the footy results, waiting around for the sixth call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Dale Abbey and filled petrol in her diesel aunt's Saab 9000 lease car. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you have put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2:30am and hardly anyone was around. It was rather uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were loafing looking at some old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful time in Derbyshire. It was in fact that calm that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end said: "I've only just ended my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in my compact Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Dale Abbey less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for showing up so promptly. While we were heading back home we noticed two girls at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, 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.
