It was before 8 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated talking about the recent footy rankings, waiting for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Fontmell Parva and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Seat Altea rental car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Dorset we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not understanding how to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A motorist living in Fontmell Parva called us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled car to work. She had put petrol in her diesel faithful Volkswagen Touareg and, like plenty before her, believed that she would be able to simply top up the car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed inside an hour while she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you sorted my car."

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 VA 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.
