It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting going over the recent tennis results, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Portwood and filled petrol in a diesel green Daewoo Nubira lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

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

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SK1 Postcode - Portwood Misfueling

A lady had come to a halt on a street, Portwood having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was weeping and fairly agitated as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to cool her as well as we could, telling her that everything would be ok. By the time we got to her she was no longer distressed and was quite curious in watching our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her racing green Audi RS 4. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is like my baby, I only recently bought it and so it truly horrified me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly glad that it was easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Portwood

We fairly recently had a phone call about a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his canary yellow Cadillac Fleetwood in Portwood. He had conked out on the road. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't discover the issue till it broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it running once again. I was impressed as a result of both how quick you were and your value for money". It goes without saying that we appeared rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the customer was raging, but was satisfied when we finished.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Portwood - Fuel Rescue Portwood

A customer from Portwood with a full car of kids in her diesel light green Cadillac XLR had put £42 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us crying and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what could happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
