It was after 10 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there going over the sports results, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Fiddington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Toyota Camry rental car. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance from us, we could reach her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was around. It had been fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were relaxing perusing a few old papers. This was a rare calm time in Somerset. It was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel wife's Toyota Yaris in error". We asked him to tell us exactly where he was and we headed out, arriving in Fiddington half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were returning to base we spotted two ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to help them 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.
