It was close to six pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Compton Abdale and put petrol in her diesel daughter's Daewoo Nubira lease car. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and less worried. Another job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

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

AdBlue is a liquid made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

"After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem up until we conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again.

A lady working in Compton Abdale phoned us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel brother's Volkswagen Golf III and, like many prior to her, imagined that she would be able to simply fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was coughing and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office.

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.
