It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf, ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Middle Bridge and put petrol in her diesel metallic grey Nissan Leaf hire car by mistake. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another job in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and noone was stirring. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and John and I were loafing about looking at a number of old newspapers. It was an unusual tranquil moment in Somerset. It was indeed so calm that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my super Dodge Ram in error". We asked him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was located and we headed out, reaching him in Middle Bridge less than an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the motor. He said thank you for showing up so fast. While we were heading back to base we saw two young women at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
