It was around ten pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated commenting on the tennis, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Crofts Bank and filled petrol in a diesel metallic blue Fiat Nuova 500 rental. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in M41 Postcode - Crofts Bank Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Monday and we were on the way to help an old woman who put petrol in her diesel silver Vauxhall Movano in Crofts Bank. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only just purchased it a short while ago after my former one, which I used for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Greater Manchester woman!

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 VA 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.
