It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there going over the sports, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Kings Hill and put petrol in her diesel brand new Alfa Romeo164 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

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

AdBlue is a chemical made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Should you end up in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL7 Postcode - Kings Hill Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Chrysler PT Cruiser in Kings Hill. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded in a rural road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only bought it several days back right after my other car, which I owned for over thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious Gloucestershire woman!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was about sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and me and Brian were sitting about looking through a couple of old newspapers. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Gloucestershire. It was that peaceful that the instant the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The voice said: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the metallic grey Hyundai Elantra in error". We got him to let us know just where the car was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Kings Hill no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for getting there so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
