It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Bidford-on-Avon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved BMW 545 hire car. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Warwickshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

He said, "This is only the second time I have put fuel in my car since I bought it and I have no idea of what to do." He was afraid since his father had just purchased him the car. He came across our company on the net and so called it immediately, frightened about what he ought to do. Our man on the telephones advised him that we would be on scene in 45 minutes and to not move his car while waiting.

This was the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and nobody was about. It had become pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were loafing around browsing some old papers. This was an uncommon calm time in Warwickshire. It was in fact so quiet that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end explained: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel son's Subaru Impreza in error". We told him to let us know where exactly the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Bidford-on-Avon less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thank you for coming so fast. While we were heading back home we saw two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
