It was after 9 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there talking about the recent football results, prepared for the 6th call to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Inkerman and put the wrong fuel in her diesel company's BMW X5 rental car in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. A job in County Durham well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you have poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Inkerman

It can't be fun being stranded in a car running on the improper fuel on the street. Our most recent customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (grey Peugeot 406) in Inkerman had precisely this kind of problem: "You probably know that I erroneously filled my petrol car with diesel last week. I was so troubled about it that I was actually in tears. However I shouldn't have concerned myself as you were exceptional in fixing it."

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were relaxing looking through a few old newspapers. This was an unusual calm hour in County Durham. Actually it was that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone said: "I concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel mum's Mazda RX-8 in error". I asked him to let us know where the vehicle was and we set off, getting to him in Inkerman no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. While we were returning to base we found two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
