It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting discussing the tennis rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Lawford and put petrol in a diesel apricot Mitsubishi 3000GT rental in error. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. A job in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

I appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on my day off and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new family who were holidaying in Lawford. They had stopped after inserting petrol into their navy blue Porsche Cayenne, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs frequently in Essex and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and thought about what my wife would tell me if ever I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about 3:30am and nobody was around. It had become pretty uneventful thus far, and John and I were loafing looking at a number of old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Essex. Actually it was that peaceful that the instant the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I have only just finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel apricot Fiat Uno in error". I told him to let us know where he was located and we headed out, ending up in Lawford an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor. He said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. While we were going back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
