It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were seated there talking about the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Westdene and filled petrol in a diesel mustard yellow Volvo V40 rental. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in East Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

All over East Sussex we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I wouldn't like being stuck in a vehicle running on the wrong fuel on the street.

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.
