It was close to five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's sports, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Millhead and put petrol in her diesel canary yellow BMW Z4 rental by mistake. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. One more job in Lancashire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in case you may have put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
