Petrol in the diesel car or bike in Newport? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Call us and enquire just how we are able to aid you to get you moving once again.
It was around eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Newport and put petrol in her diesel mint green Vauxhall Astra rental in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Somerset we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?
Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously never switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Any time you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
