It was before 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the golf, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Selborne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Range Rover Sport lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you may have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

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.
