It was just after 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were resting there talking about the footy rankings, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Misery Corner and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel father's Mercedes E-Class rental. The unfortunate lady was very distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and much less worried. Yet another job in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Misery Corner - Wrong Fuel in Car Misery Corner

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing during my off day and was feeling pleased the next morning as I was on the way to aid a young family on vacation in Misery Corner. They'd broken down after adding diesel into their stylish Skoda Superb, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
