It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the weekend's sports, prepared for the next fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Wilton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's VW Jetta III hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Herefordshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different 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.
