It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Grittlesend and put the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey BMW 550 rental. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. A job in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Should you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
