It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and I were resting talking about the sports results, waiting for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Stansfield and filled petrol in a diesel aunt's Mitsubishi Pajero rental in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CO10 Postcode - Stansfield Misfueling

A lady had broken down on a street, Stansfield having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was in tears and fairly distressed as she had put £42 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we tried to calm her as best we could, encouraging her that everything would be alright. By the time we reached her she was not aggrieved any more and was pretty interested in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her canary yellow Austin Mini Cooper S. Afterwards she said: "My car is like my baby, I just got it so it honestly freaked me out that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm pleased that it was easily repairable."

This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to 2:30am and almost noone was around. It had been rather quiet thus far, and Brian and I were loafing about looking at some old magazines. That was a rare calm moment in Suffolk. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I've finished my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel luxury Fiat Nuova 500 in error". I asked him to tell us just where he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Stansfield not as much as 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks for coming so promptly. As we were coming back to base we found two young women at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much 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.
