It was just after five pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring!

Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Town Kelloe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel stylish Volkswagen Golf hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

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

AdBlue is a chemical made from a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was around sunrise and noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful thus far, and John and I were loafing around browsing a number of old magazines. This was a rare restful time in County Durham. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist explained: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel well worn Lexus LX in error". We asked him to tell us where exactly the car was situated and we set off, ending up in Town Kelloe less than an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the motor.

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.
