It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the recent football results, ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Riddings and put petrol in her diesel expensive BMW 330 rental by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Whenever you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
