It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing going over the tennis, at the ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Higher Bockhampton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Volvo V70 hire car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT2 Postcode - Higher Bockhampton Misfueling

A somewhat alarmed motorist called us from the Total filling station at Dorset to advise us that he put unleaded in to his diesel super Lexus; he wasn't quite certain how he'd done it. We said to him it was absolutely no concern and before long had our man out to him to clear the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was subsequently back rolling again. He told us; "I am honestly stunned I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who was sent to undertake the fuel drain was genuinely excellent - he didn't make me feel silly."

Wrong Fuel Assist Higher Bockhampton - Wrong Fuel in Car Higher Bockhampton

I had a wonderful evening cycling during my day off and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I was en route to assist a young couple on holiday in Higher Bockhampton. They had stopped after putting diesel into their canary yellow Skoda Fabia, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Dorset and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. In any case, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Higher Bockhampton

Now I am not necessarily that hot for working on weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids following a tasty Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman after he put the wrong petrol in his old Jeep Cherokee. He was somewhere in Higher Bockhampton thus I was on scene before long. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created damage by driving it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel at once for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so yet another delighted client was able to continue on his ride without the difficulty. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make working on Sundays in Dorset a tiny bit easier to me!

Well-known Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

Here is a list of customary wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss in engine power
  • Motor conking out, jumping or coughing
  • Problems starting the car
  • Increased smoking

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.
