It was after five pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were seated talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Blackhill and put petrol in a diesel trusty Porsche Cayenne rental in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel navy blue MINI Cooper in Blackhill. I had been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up on a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only purchased it several days ago when my other one, which I used for over 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful County Durham lady!

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 2:30am and almost noone was about. It was fairly quiet up to now, and me and Mark were sitting about perusing several old articles. This was an unusual peaceful time in County Durham. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone explained: "I just ended my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in the brand new Kia Carens in error". I instructed him to inform us just where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Blackhill under 30 minutes later.

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 VA 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.
