It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated there talking over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Brislington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark green Vauxhall Astra lease car. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. Another job in Bristol well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

We are able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to handle any of the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Bristol we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you get in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
