It was before five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting there talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in South Field and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Isuzu i-370 lease car. She was fairly affected apparently, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical competence and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Doctor South Field - Fuel Rescue South Field

A customer from South Field with her little ones in her diesel friend's Saab 9-5 had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
