It was close to five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were resting discussing the recent sports results, prepared for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Padbury and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue Jeep Commander hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her right away.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Buckinghamshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Padbury

Now I'm not too inclined to doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left home filled with a wonderful dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was en route to help a guy after he had filled the wrong fuel in his mom's Renault Megane. He was somewhere in Padbury therefore I was there rapidly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on something else and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any harm through driving it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any damage and that also I would personally remove the contaminated fuel right away. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then one more content motorist was able to carry on with their ride without any subsequent fuss. The man did not stop thanking me, and this tends to make earning a living on weekends in Buckinghamshire just that small bit less painful to me!

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:

    • 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.

  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.
