It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated there talking over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in College Park and filled petrol in a diesel apricot Nissan JUKE hire car in error. She was quite affected apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Hammersmith and Fulham done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hammersmith and Fulham we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to help a new family on holiday in College Park. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their canary yellow Honda CR-X, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the wife telling off her spouse for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Hammersmith and Fulham and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, but he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd never 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 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.
