It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the football results, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Leekbrook and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apple green Jaguar X-Type rental in error. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. One more job in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not understanding how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And of course don't start the car - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Any time you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Monday and I was off to help an old woman after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic silver BMW X5 in Leekbrook. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and stranded on a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only got it several days ago right after my previous one, which I had for more than 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Staffordshire woman!

I'm not necessarily too interested in doing the job on weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids following a magnificent lunch cooked for us by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a man because he put the incorrect fuel in his sunflower yellow Fiat. He was somewhere in Leekbrook therefore I arrived with him soon. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on other considerations and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of damage because of driving it?" I explained truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another satisfied customer was able to continue on their traveling without fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is actually what can make operating on weekends in Staffordshire just that small bit less painful for me personally!

The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work.

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.
