It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Westhorpe and put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Saab 9-2X hire car. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Nottinghamshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

They had conked out after putting diesel in their new Porsche Cayenne, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I listened to the gal berating her man for being so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Nottinghamshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, but he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy.

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.
