It was around five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Stanwell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green MINI Cooper Clubman rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Surrey we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

A young lady from Stanwell with her kids in her diesel beloved Volkswagen Touareg had put £50 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She phoned us crying and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."

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.
