It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the sports, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hartshorne and put petrol in a diesel buff Nissan Leaf rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in case you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hartshorne - Wrong Fuel in Car Hartshorne

They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their rugged Lexus IS F, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him.

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.
