It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting discussing the recent golf results, prepared for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Elsenham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Jeep Comanche hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried. A job in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Elsenham

We were phoned by a individual whose stylish Chevrolet Malibu had ground to a halt on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I confused the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. WrongFuelSOS.com came out and sorted out the matter right after my car died." We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the engine completely afterwards and the driver could go on with his deliveries.

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite quiet thus far, and Brian and I were loafing about looking through several old newspapers. That was an uncommon restful hour in Essex. It was in fact that quiet that when the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The motorist explained: "I have concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a blue Skoda Citigo". I got him to let us know just where the car was located and we headed out, reaching him in Elsenham not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back to the depot we saw two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we got out and helped them 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.
