It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated talking over the sports results, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Ashford Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel super Saab 9-4X rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Ashford Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the typical troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ashford Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Ashford Hill

I'd had a terrific evening golfing during my off day and felt delighted with myself the following day as I set out to help a new family who were on holiday in Ashford Hill. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their red Toyota Camry, and the car was approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the wife berating her man for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
