It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Morden and put petrol in a diesel company's Volvo S90 lease car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and less anxious. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dorset we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Morden

Now I am not that hot for carrying out work weekends, and last week was no different. I had just left the family following a magnificent dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to help a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his metallic green Lexus LS. He was situated in Morden thus it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other things and didn't perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on harm simply by running it?" I revealed there shouldn't be harm and that also I would get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another content motorist could continue on their traveling without any bother. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make working on weekends in Dorset a tiny bit better to me!

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.
