Mark and me were seated commenting on the golf, ready for the next call that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Apethorpe and filled petrol in her diesel dad's Audi Coupe GT hire car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I enjoyed a great evening cycling during my off day and was feeling delighted the next day as I set off to help a new couple who were vacationing in Apethorpe. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their modern BMW 525, and were close to an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to worry about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. Anyways, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.
