It was just after eight pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Blagdon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Mazda323 rental car. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. One more job in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Blagdon

Now I am not actually too hot for doing the job on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed home following a magnificent lunch made for us by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a man because he filled the incorrect fuel in his canary yellow Citron C4. He was somewhere in Blagdon therefore I was with him almost immediately. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any damage because of starting it?" I explained that truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and also that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel immediately. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another delighted customer was able to continue their journey without the fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what can make operating on weekends in Somerset a tiny bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Blagdon - Fuel Rescue Blagdon

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and noone was around. It had become pretty dead up to now, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking through some old articles. It was a rare calm hour in Somerset. It was indeed that calm that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I only just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel baby blue Mitsubishi Eclipse". We instructed him to let us know just where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Blagdon half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming out so rapidly. As we were returning home we found two young women on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we stopped to change it, 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 VA 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.
