It was before 5 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Harlaston and put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Mitsubishi Precis hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised skills and 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.
