It was about 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the rugby results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Beckingham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel light green Volvo V40 lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Beckingham - Wrong Fuel in Car Beckingham

I'd had a terrific day golfing on the weekend and felt delighted the next day as I set out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Beckingham. They had conked out after adding diesel into their beloved Volvo XC60, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this goes on all the time in Nottinghamshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor boy. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!

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 VAT 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.
