It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking about the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Chapel Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Toyota RAV4 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly 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.
