It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Churchfields and put petrol in a diesel bright red MINI Cooper Clubman lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!

Run out of fuel in Churchfields (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They will handle any of the standard issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Wiltshire we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
