It was close to seven pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were resting there talking over the weekend's footy, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Milton and filled petrol in a diesel metallic silver Mazda B2500 hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance from our van, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Yet another job in Newham done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Newham we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

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

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

While I was working she said, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only acquired it a couple of days ago when my previous one, which I'd owned for over thirty years, finally stopped working".

A customer from Milton with her youngsters in her diesel mum's Cadillac CTS had put £40 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She called us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.
