It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting there discussing the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Oakley and filled petrol in her diesel uncle's Fiat Doblo rental car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

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

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Oakley

Now I'm not excessively keen on working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids after having a tasty Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a guy who had filled the wrong fuel in his metallic grey Mitsubishi 3000GT. He was stationed in Oakley thus I was on scene quickly. As I pulled up right behind the car and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any kind of harm because of running it?" I stated that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that also I would drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist had the ability to continue on his trip with no bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make operating on Sundays in Oxfordshire a little bit less painful to me!

This was certainly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 2am and noone was around. It had become rather uneventful until now, and Ray and I were loafing browsing a few old papers. That was an unusual restful hour in Oxfordshire. It was so calm that the instant the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The customer stated: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel white Volkswagen Tiguan in error". I instructed him to inform us where the car was situated and we left, getting to him in Oakley under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back home we found two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over and helped them change it, much 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 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.
