It was close to ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting going over the golf, at the ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Randlay and put petrol in her diesel metallic blue Cadillac Allante rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and less worried. Another job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Randlay (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix the common problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously never start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

A lady from Randlay with her children in her diesel husband's Lexus RX had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the petrol station. She contacted us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be fine and that she would be up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the kids on board."

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.
