Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Newbury Park and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Suzuki Kizashi rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and noone was stirring. It was rather uneventful so far, and John and I were sitting about browsing a number of old articles. That was an uncommon calm hour in Richmond upon Thames. Actually it was in fact so calm that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer stated: "I've just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Mitsubishi Lancer by mistake". We told him to inform us just where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Newbury Park only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two ladies at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
