It was after 6 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting talking about the sports results, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Fromebridge and put petrol in a diesel dad's Daihatsu Charade hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

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.
