It was before seven pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated discussing the weekend's footy, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Crabbs Green and put petrol in a diesel faithful Isuzu i-370 rental by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Crabbs Green

I'm certainly not overly enthusiastic about working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family after having a fantastic dinner prepared by the wife, and I was off to deal with a man because he filled the wrong fuel in his burgundy red BMW M Roadster. He was located in Crabbs Green hence I was with him very quickly. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and failed to grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about some problems by driving it?" I explained there should not be any kind of harm and that I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and another pleased customer had the ability to carry on with their trip without fuss. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make carrying out work on weekends in Hertfordshire just that small bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
