It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there commenting on the sports, prepared for the next job to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Harborough Magna and put the wrong fuel in her diesel white Cadillac Escalade ESV hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with AdBlue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Saturday and I was en route to help an older lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Kia Sorento in Harborough Magna. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane on route to visit her family. I popped her location into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just bought it a short while back after my previous car, which I'd owned for over 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Warwickshire woman!

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.
