It was before 9 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent rugby, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Gazeley and put petrol in a diesel compact Mercedes Sprinter lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so anxious. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Suffolk we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

It must be horrible conking out in a car with the incorrect fuel halfway down the street. One of our most recent customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (dirty red Mitsubishi Expo) in Gazeley had exactly that type of crisis: "Obviously I mistakenly put petrol in my diesel car recently. I was so upset about it that I was actually in tears. But I didn't need to worry since you were excellent in dealing with the problem."

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.
