It was around ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there going over the recent footy, waiting for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Sandpit and filled petrol in a diesel apricot Mitsubishi Montero rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we could get to the customer rather quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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 VA 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.
