It was around five pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were resting going over the sports results, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Herstmonceux and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel modified Cadillac CTS-V hire car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue 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 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.
