It was around ten pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Coldharbour and filled petrol in her diesel metallic grey Toyota FJ Cruiser rental car in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It had been pretty dead up to now, and Brian and I were relaxing browsing a couple of old magazines. That was a rare quiet hour in Gloucestershire. It was that peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The customer told me: "I've concluded my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel faithful Seat Arosa in error". We instructed him to inform us just where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Coldharbour not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said many thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were returning home we spotted two girls at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.

  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.
