It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Offord DArcy and put the wrong fuel in a diesel father's Austin Mini Cooper S hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected area and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Cambridgeshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

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

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
