It was before eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing there discussing the golf results, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Stretham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Peugeot 104 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and much less anxious. Another job in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to help an old woman who had put petrol in her diesel partner's Mitsubishi Montero in Stretham. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and broken down along a country road along the way to visit her godchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just got it a few days back after my previous car, which I had had for over twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Cambridgeshire woman!

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.
