It was before five pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Brays Grove and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brand new Kia Rio5 rental. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you get in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise near a beautiful property in Brays Grove not so long ago. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to almost reach home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, even though it was quite late at night, and did a fuel drain and purge on the metallic green Jeep Compass .

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It was pretty quiet thus far, and me and Ray were sitting about reading through some old magazines. This was an uncommon restful moment in Essex. It was in fact so peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I've only just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel grey VW Fox". We told him to tell us where the car was and we left, getting to him in Brays Grove under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. As we were coming back to the depot we found two girls at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to change it, 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 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.
