It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next job that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Ovington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Jeep Cherokee hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northumberland we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

A young lady employed in Ovington called us after she had managed to get her misfueled car to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel bright white Cadillac DeVille and, like countless before her, believed that she would be able to basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it would run okay. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within an hour whilst she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you fixed my car."

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.
