It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Marsh Green and put petrol in her diesel mustard yellow Audi S5 rental car in error. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. One more job in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you have poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Marsh Green

Now I'm not actually too keen on carrying out work weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just come away from the family filled with a wonderful Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a guy because he filled the incorrect fuel in his uncle's Saab 9-2X. He was situated in Marsh Green and so I was there almost immediately. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other things and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some problems because of starting it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I would personally remove the wrong fuel quickly. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then another delighted customer could continue their trip without any subsequent bother. The guy could not stop thanking me, and this tends to make operating on Sundays in Greater Manchester just that little bit easier for me personally!

This was the night shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had been fairly quiet thus far, and me and Ryan were relaxing perusing some old newspapers. This was an uncommon restful time in Greater Manchester. Actually it was so peaceful that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist on the other end explained: "I just concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel mum's Renault Clio". We asked him to inform us just where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Marsh Green only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us for getting there so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we saw two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, much to their elation.

Likely Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

Here is a list of standard wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Vehicle cutting out, spluttering or hiccuping
  • Trouble starting the vehicle
  • Abnormal smoking

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.
