Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Horton Cross and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel well worn Volkswagen GLI lease car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance off from the office, we could reach the lady swiftly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

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.
