It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated discussing the recent sports, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Water and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Mazda B-Series Plus rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

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


AdBlue Contamination

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

AdBlue is a liquid that’s composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you end up in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BB4 Postcode - Water Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel clean white Jaguar XK Series in Water. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I'd just acquired it a short while back when my old one, which I had used for more than 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Lancashire lady!

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.
