It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Shaggs and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Lexus LFA lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Any time you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
