It was after eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Todhills and put the wrong fuel in a diesel gorgeous BMW M6 rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you’ve put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
