In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Anna Valley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Toyota Yaris rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
