It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Etwall Common and filled petrol in a diesel khaki green Land Rover Range Rover Sport rental car. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Should you discover yourself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
