Petrol in a diesel vehicle in Ifieldwood? Welcome to Wrong Fuel SoS. Call us and discover how we can certainly help to get you up and running again.

It was around seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Ifieldwood and put petrol in her diesel rugged Land Rover Range Rover Evoque lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find her without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. A job in West Sussex done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In West Sussex we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised 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 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.
