It was after ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next job to arrive. Before long we received a call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Odstone and filled petrol in a diesel rugged Kia Soul hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Leicestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Leicestershire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Odstone - Wrong Fuel in Car Odstone

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to assist a new family on vacation in Odstone. They pulled over after adding petrol into their racing green Ford Galaxie, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smiled as I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Leicestershire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
