It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Marsworth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Volkswagen GLI rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at her rather quickly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Buckinghamshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing about reading some old newspapers. It was an uncommon calm time in Buckinghamshire. It was so peaceful that when my mobile rang I jumped with surprise! The customer explained: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a metallic green VW GTI by mistake". We got him to tell us where exactly he was and we set off, arriving in Marsworth not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were heading back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the road who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we got out to 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.
