It was after eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the recent sports rankings, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Leckford and put petrol in a diesel sunflower yellow Mercedes Sprinter 2500 rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen.

What you should do in the event that you have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

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.
