Brian and me were seated there talking about the recent footy results, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Milton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Peugeot Bipper rental. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

A young lady had broken down on a road, Milton just after having put petrol in her diesel car. She was weeping and truly agitated as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to cool her as well as we could, encouraging her that everything would be fine. When we arrived with her she was no longer aggrieved and was quite fascinated in observing our fuel drainer complete the fuel drain on her sombre grey Ford Galaxie.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and Brian and I were relaxing reading some old magazines. That was an unusual quiet hour in Wiltshire. It was in fact that tranquil that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in my aunt's Toyota Prius". I asked him to let us know just where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Milton not as much as an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back home we saw two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. Accordingly we got out to help 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 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.
