It was before 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were seated talking over the recent footy, prepared for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Mousehill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel raspberry red Ford Fusion rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the technical know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
