It was just after eight pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the recent footy results, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Thorpe Satchville and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Lexus LS rental. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct every type 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 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.
