It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were seated talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Ightfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cream Cadillac STS rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Shropshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
