It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the rugby, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Wheatley and filled petrol in her diesel luxury Mazda RX-8 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

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.
