It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent football results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Fincham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Jeep Cherokee hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could get to the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Merseyside well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Merseyside we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel mint green Land Rover Range Rover Evoque in Fincham.

I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just got it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty five years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Merseyside lady!

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:

    • 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 VAT receipt.

  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.
