It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting commenting on the recent footy rankings, prepared for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Leinthall Earls and filled petrol in her diesel new BMW Z4 M rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Now I am not necessarily very keen on carrying out work weekends, and last week was no different. I had just left the wife and kids filled with a tasty lunch made for me by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who filled the wrong petrol in his baby blue Peugeot 107. He was located in Leinthall Earls thus it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted any harm because of starting it?" I determined that generally there should not be any harm and also I'd get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. As expected I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and then another contented customer was able to continue on their trip with no bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make working on Sundays in Herefordshire just that tiny bit easier to me!

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful thus far, and Brian and I were loafing around perusing some old magazines. That was a rare peaceful time in Herefordshire. It was so peaceful that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I ended my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in the diesel elegant VW Eurovan in error". We got him to tell us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Leinthall Earls only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said thanks for coming so promptly. While we were returning to base we noticed two women at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
