It was before eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were resting talking about the football rankings, ready for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Parkfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Mercedes R-Class rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds 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.
