Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Yatton Keynell and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Smart Fortwo rental car in error. The poor lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Yatton Keynell (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They will take care of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Yatton Keynell

I'm not necessarily so interested in doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the family following a tasty Sunday roast made for us by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his metallic red Mitsubishi Endeavor. He was only in Yatton Keynell hence I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and didn't perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any harm by simply running it?" I said that generally there shouldn't be any harm and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another satisfied motorist was able to continue their traveling without the need for hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this can make operating on weekends in Wiltshire just that small bit better to me!

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.
