It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Lower Froyle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Audi RS 4 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could reach her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

She had put unleaded in her diesel cyan Mitsubishi Montero and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she could simply fill up the car with diesel and it would be alright. The engine was coughing and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her work.

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.
