It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Netherton and filled petrol in her diesel wife's Lexus LS lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance off from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to assist an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel stylish Volkswagen Tiguan in Netherton. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd just purchased it several days ago after my former one, which I had used for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Hampshire lady!

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.
