It was around 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf results, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in New Eltham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Mercedes C-Class rental car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. One more job in Greenwich done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Greenwich we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle 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 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.
