It was about ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Marstow and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's Nissan Cube lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Should you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and John were relaxing browsing several old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Herefordshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the instant the phone ultimately rang I leaped! The voice on the phone explained: "I ended my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel cyan Peugeot 306 by mistake". I asked him to let us know just where the car was and we headed out, reaching him in Marstow an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. As we were heading back to the office we saw two girls at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
