It was about five pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Cowbridge and put petrol in her diesel beautiful BMW 745 rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a new family on holiday in Cowbridge. They broken down after filling diesel into their precious Toyota Prius, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for turning out to be so silly.

I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs everyday in Somerset and that it's truly nothing to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel.

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.
