It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Upper Wick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel old Mitsubishi Eclipse rental car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a few miles from us, we were able to reach the lady without delay.

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Worcestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
