It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting going over the recent golf rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Castle Frome and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's Jeep Comanche rental car by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Herefordshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct 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.
