It was after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis results, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Breadstone and put petrol in a diesel rust red Renault Espace rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely don't crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

A customer had broken down just near a road in Breadstone. His boss' Daihatsu Rocky engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car.

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.

Usual Misfuel Signs and symptoms:

Here's a list of prevalent wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Loss in vehicle power
