It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were resting talking over the football rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Brockhurst and put the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Mitsubishi 3000GT rental. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we could find her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

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.
