It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the recent footy results, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Strand and filled petrol in her diesel trusty BMW 750 rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Westminster well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Westminster we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types 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.
