It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated going over the football, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in South Street and put petrol in a diesel spotless Chevrolet Caprice rental car by mistake. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Bromley well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Bromley we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of different types of AdBlue 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.
