It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Bretherton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel customised Mitsubishi Eclipse rental by mistake. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you find yourself in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Now I'm not so inclined to doing the job on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family filled with a lovely Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his faithful Cadillac STS-V. He was stationed in Bretherton therefore I was on scene before long. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my mind on other considerations and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any harm because of starting it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be any problems and that also I'd personally remove the fuel as soon as possible for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another delighted client had the ability to continue his trip without the difficulty. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Lancashire that little bit less painful to me!

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 2:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and me and Ryan were loafing perusing several old newspapers. It was an unusual calm moment in Lancashire. Actually it was in fact that calm that the instant the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end told me: "I have completed my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my metallic yellow Cadillac STS". We instructed him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, ending up in Bretherton not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said many thanks for arriving so fast. While we were heading back home we saw two women on the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to 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 VA 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.
