It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Thornicombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Peugeot 106 lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to find her rather quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't crank the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
