Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Coates and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow BMW M Roadster rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!

We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL7 Postcode - Coates Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an older woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Toyota Yaris in Coates. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane on route to see her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I had only bought it a week ago after my old one, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Gloucestershire woman!

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following day as I set off to help a young family holidaying in Coates. They had stopped after filling petrol in their black Jaguar XF, and were about half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
