It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's golf, ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Cowbeech and put the wrong fuel in a diesel friend's Fiat Doblo lease car. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over East Sussex we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In case you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
