It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining!

Finally we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Ifold and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel red Citron rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure spot and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer rather quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in case you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and we were on my way to help an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel raspberry red Volvo850 in Ifold. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only just bought it several days back after my other one, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant West Sussex lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ifold

Now I am not ever very enthusiastic about running Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just departed home following a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was off to assist a man who put the incorrect petrol in his trusty Mercedes SLK55 AMG. He was somewhere in Ifold hence I arrived on scene very quickly. Just as I drove up at the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any harm as a result of driving it?" I revealed there should not be any harm and that also I would personally remove the wrong fuel right away. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so another delighted client had the ability to carry on with his journey without the need for fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes working on Sundays in West Sussex just that tiny bit less painful for me!

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty dead until now, and me and Ray were relaxing looking at a few old papers. That was an uncommon peaceful moment in West Sussex. Actually it was so relaxing that when the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The person on the other end said: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my mint green Hyundai Equus in error". We asked him to inform us where the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Ifold only an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the engine. He said many thanks for getting there so rapidly. As we were returning home we noticed two young women at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
