It was after eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Shipley Gate and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark blue BMW 650 rental. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Nottinghamshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
