It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there going over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Arlingham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Kia Spectra5 hire car by mistake. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a few miles from us, we were able to reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in the event that you may have put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

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.
