It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the football results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Thornwood Common and put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Honda CR-X lease car in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no 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 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.
