It was around six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were seated there discussing the sports, waiting for the 8th call to come in. Before long we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Stretford Court and put petrol in a diesel son's Volkswagen Jetta III rental car. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
