It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the recent rugby, prepared for the seventh telephone call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Butteryhaugh and put petrol in a diesel light blue Skoda Superb rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

This really was an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was around. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and Brian and I were loafing perusing a few old newspapers. That was an uncommon tranquil hour in Northumberland. Actually it was that peaceful that the moment the telephone finally rang I leaped! The person explained: "I just ended my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a old Volvo740 in error". We instructed him to inform us where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Butteryhaugh half an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine. He thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were coming back to base we noticed two ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
