It was around six pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Whelford and put petrol in a diesel light blue Honda Civic rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly.

What you can do in case you’ve put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).

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.
