It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there talking over the recent football results, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Paglesham Churchend and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Kia Rio hire car. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. One more job in Essex well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Essex we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical know-how and experience to have you back on your way quickly 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.
