It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Coston and put petrol in her diesel husband's Peugeot 107 lease car. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Coston

Now I am certainly not so hot for doing work Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast made by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow who filled the incorrect fuel in his mum's Vauxhall Meriva. He was somewhere in Coston and so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on something else and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any kind of harm by simply running it?" I explained truth be told there should not be damage and that I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and thus one more delighted motorist could continue on their journey without any difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make operating on Sundays in Leicestershire just a tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really delighted you sorted my vehicle."

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.
