It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the recent golf results, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Littletown and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Suzuki Sidekick rental car by mistake. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the customer right away.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH6 Postcode - Littletown Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Sunday and we were on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel apricot Skoda Citigo in Littletown. I had been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had just purchased it a couple of days ago when my other car, which I'd owned for more than 25 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a lovely County Durham lady!

Standard Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

Here's a list of very common wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Lack of vehicle power
  • Car cutting out, stuttering or coughing
  • Problems starting the car
  • Increased fumes

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.
