It was after five pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Seaborough and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Volkswagen Beetle rental in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the lady without delay.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of how to work with 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 frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Seaborough

Now I'm not ever so inclined to doing the job weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had just left the family after a fantastic roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy after he had put the incorrect petrol in his creamy white Peugeot 206. He was somewhere in Seaborough therefore I was on scene very quickly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any kind of damage as a result of starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be problems and that also I'd remove the fuel at once. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and another satisfied motorist was able to continue on his journey without the need for fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Dorset just that small bit easier for me!

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been pretty dead until now, and me and Brian were sitting around looking through a number of old newspapers. It was a rare calm time in Dorset. Actually it was that tranquil that when the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the deep grey Nissan in error". We instructed him to inform us where he was situated and we left, getting to him in Seaborough less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor. He said many thanks for coming out so fast. While we were returning home we spotted two young women at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
