It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting commenting on the footy, waiting for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Rosehill and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Volkswagen Scirocco lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, because it was just a few miles away from the office, we could get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Lancashire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

A guy had conked out just near a street in Rosehill. His mom's Renault Alliance motor had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason why.

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 VA 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.
