It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Berghers Hill and put petrol in a diesel baby blue Kia Sorento lease car. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen.

The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was living at.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in case you have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Now I am not ever so enthusiastic about carrying out work weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a lovely lunch cooked for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a guy after he put the incorrect petrol in his elegant Skoda Superb. He was situated in Berghers Hill so I arrived with him rapidly. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and didn't realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any damage because of running it?" I said generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus one more pleased customer had the ability to continue on his journey with no bother. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make working on weekends in Buckinghamshire a tiny bit less painful for me personally!

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.
