It was around ten pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting talking over the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Turnhurst and filled petrol in a diesel husband's Peugeot 107 hire car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
