Petrol in your diesel car or bike in Healeyfield? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Call us and enquire how we could help to get you on the road again.

It was around 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting talking over the recent tennis rankings, ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Healeyfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey VW Touareg rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, because it was just a short distance from us, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in County Durham well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue 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 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.
