In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Hollybush Hill and put petrol in a diesel brand new Renault Twingo hire car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you discover yourself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was about 3 in the morning and noone was around. It had been rather dead until now, and John and I were loafing about looking at a number of old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful time in Essex. It was that relaxing that the moment the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my sombre grey Chevrolet Camaro". I told him to let us know where he was and we left, arriving in Hollybush Hill not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said many thanks for coming out so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two girls at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
