It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there discussing the recent football, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Doe Lea and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel husband's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we have found progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And of course never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.

Ordinary Misfueling Warning signs:
