In due time we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Crookham and filled petrol in a diesel new-shape Peugeot 306 rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Berkshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Should you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Fiat Ulysse in Crookham. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station and broken down in a country lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only bought it a short while back because my previous one, which I had for over 25 years, eventually broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Berkshire woman!

A lady from Crookham with her youngsters in her diesel canary yellow Jaguar XJ had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
