It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were resting there discussing the weekend's sports, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Droxford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Peugeot 207 rental. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Droxford

I'm not that interested in doing the job Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just left the wife and kids after having a superb lunch cooked for me by the wife, and I was en route to help a gentleman after he filled the incorrect fuel in his grey Volvo240. He was only in Droxford and so I arrived with him almost immediately. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I had my mind on other considerations and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any kind of problems by running it?" I explained that there shouldn't be damage and that also I would get the fuel drained quickly for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and thus another happy client could carry on with his traveling with no fuss. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Hampshire a little better to 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.
