It was just before ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing there going over the football, prepared for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Leathern Bottle and put petrol in a diesel metallic silver Vauxhall Corsa lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously don't start up the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Leathern Bottle

I'm certainly not that inclined to doing work weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just left the family following a superb lunch cooked by the wife, and I was en route to assist a gentleman after he put the wrong fuel in his mustard yellow Hyundai Genesis. He was located in Leathern Bottle so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on something else and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused some harm through starting it?" I stated there should not be any kind of problems and that also I would remove the contaminated fuel immediately. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another pleased client could continue his journey without any hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this makes working on weekends in Gloucestershire just that tiny bit less painful for me!

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.
