It was around 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking over the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Buckland and put petrol in a diesel cream Jeep Wrangler hire car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

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


AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Should you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Buckland. His sombre grey BMW 6 Series engine had stopped working and he'd no idea what was the problem until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and almost noone was around. It was rather uneventful thus far, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through several old newspapers. It was an uncommon tranquil time in Gloucestershire. Actually it was that tranquil that when my mobile rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I have concluded my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel mum's Nissan Leaf in error". We told him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Buckland not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two girls at the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over 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.
