It was before seven pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Hurley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel black BMW M rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hurley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the most common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

In Warwickshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A relatively alarmed motorist called us from the Texaco petrol station at Warwickshire to advise us that he put petrol into his diesel company's Daewoo Leganza; he wasn't exactly sure how he'd done it. We advised him it was absolutely no problem and soon enough had our technician out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having taken out the contaminated fuel, he was shortly back driving. He told us; "I am really dumbfounded I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who was sent to perform the fuel drain was especially nice - he didn't make me feel like a fool."

Last Friday a youngster telephoned us after his super Mazda B2600 broke down on a street in Hurley. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before being forced to halt. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who lives close by, arrived with him in about twenty minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."

We fairly recently got a phone call about a young man who put the incorrect fuel in his company's Range Rover Classic in Hurley. He had ground to a halt on the road. "It was amazing how rapid you were in getting somebody out to help me when I mistakenly petrol in my diesel. Thank you so much". It goes without saying that we were on-scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the customer was fuming, but was grinning his face off when we finished.

This was most definitely the night shift. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become rather quiet up to now, and me and Brian were loafing reading through a couple of old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet moment in Warwickshire. Actually it was so relaxing that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The person said: "I have just finished my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a partner's Jeep Cherokee". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was and we left, arriving in Hurley only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. As we were coming back to base we saw two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
