It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated discussing the golf results, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Carr Vale and put petrol in her diesel shiny Audi Allroad hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could get to her right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Land Rover Defender 110 in Carr Vale. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater road on the way to see her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she told me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had just purchased it a short while back because my other car, which I had for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious Derbyshire woman!

A driver from Carr Vale with her kids in her diesel baby blue Audi Quattro had put £50 of petrol at the station.

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 VAT 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.
