It was before six pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Burnham and filled petrol in her diesel sombre grey Toyota Sienna rental car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed if you have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A motorist employed in Burnham contacted us after she had tried to get her misfueled car to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel brother's Citron DS4 and, like plenty before her, thought that she would be able to simply fill her car with diesel and it'd be fine. The car was spluttering and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted within an hour or so whilst she was at work.

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.
