It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Panks Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dirty red Mazda323 rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Panks Bridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the most common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
