It was after 8 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the golf, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Peacehaven and filled petrol in her diesel dark red BMW 600 lease car. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In East Sussex we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Peacehaven - Wrong Fuel in Car Peacehaven

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a new family vacationing in Peacehaven. They had conked out after putting diesel in their rugged Mazda626, and they were close to an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this goes on continuously in East Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, however he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Peacehaven

Now I'm not actually so interested in carrying out work weekends, and the other day was the same. I had just departed the family after a fantastic dinner prepared for me by the missus, and I was off to help a fellow who had filled the wrong fuel in his deep grey MINI Cooper. He was only in Peacehaven and so I arrived there almost immediately. Just as I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I had my attention on something else and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some problems by running it?" I explained generally there should not be any kind of damage and also I would remove the wrong fuel at once for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and so one more happy client had the ability to carry on with their journey with no fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in East Sussex just a little bit better to me!

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.
