It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Lower Swell and filled petrol in a diesel super BMW rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
