It was around six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Broadgreen Wood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel stylish Suzuki Vitara lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

This was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30am and hardly anyone was around. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and Mark and I were loafing about looking at some old magazines. That was a rare quiet time in Hertfordshire. It was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile finally rang I jumped! The customer on the phone explained: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the trusty Honda Ridgeline". We instructed him to tell us just where he was and we left, arriving in Broadgreen Wood less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us for showing up so fast. While we were returning to base we saw two girls at the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled up 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.
