It was around five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Boothstown and put the wrong fuel in a diesel new-shape Seat Alhumbra hire car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you may have put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile'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 VA 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.
