It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in The Hobbins and filled petrol in a diesel shiny Saab 9-2X lease car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel apricot Fiat Punto in The Hobbins. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only acquired it a week ago when my former one, which I owned for over 25 years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Shropshire lady!

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.
