Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Highnam Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Mitsubishi Pajero hire car in error. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you’ve put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle'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.
