It was close to 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Salhouse and filled petrol in a diesel bright white BMW 3 Series hire car. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. One more job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

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


AdBlue Contamination

All around Norfolk we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
