It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there discussing the football results, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Merrow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Mazda MX-3 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and less worried. One more job in Surrey done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Surrey we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

A fairly alarmed driver phoned us from the Texaco filling station at Surrey to tell us that he put petrol in his diesel metallic grey Renault Master; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Merrow - Wrong Fuel in Car Merrow

A guy had broken down just near a road in Merrow. His friend's Vauxhall Zafira engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Merrow

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a lovely residential home in Merrow a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to almost arrive at home when my car quit." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and completed a fuel drain and cleanse on the compact Subaru Outback Sport to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Merrow - Fuel Rescue Merrow

A customer driving in Merrow called us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel husband's Audi Q5 and, like countless prior to her, assumed that she could simply fill the vehicle with diesel and it would be okay. The car was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed within an hour whilst she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my vehicle."

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.
