It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting talking over the tennis rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Woolsington and put petrol in a diesel dark blue Saab 9-2X rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the lady right away.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Tyne and Wear we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Any time you get in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or 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 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.
