It was around ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were resting commenting on the football rankings, prepared for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Boxwell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue Peugeot 3008 rental car by mistake. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things can happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be devastating to your car's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Boxwell

I'm not necessarily overly inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and last week was the same. I had only just left the family filled with a tasty Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman who filled the wrong fuel in his classic Mercedes CL-Class. He was stationed in Boxwell thus it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created some harm because of driving it?" I explained there shouldn't be any harm and also that I would personally drain the wrong fuel at once for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so another satisfied client had the ability to continue on his journey without hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes working on weekends in Gloucestershire a tiny bit less painful for me personally!

A woman from Boxwell with her little ones in her diesel dark red Cadillac Fleetwood had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us weeping and really worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what could happen to her car . We reassured her that all would be fine and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters on board."

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.
