It was close to six pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were seated going over the footy, prepared for the 6th job that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Coddenham Green and put petrol in her diesel boss' Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do if you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Usual Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

Here is a list of ordinary wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Engine dying, spluttering or hiccuping
  • Difficulty starting the vehicle
  • Excessive fumes

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.
