It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Brian and me were seated there going over the football rankings, prepared for the 8th job of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Gilston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel luxury Mercedes Sprinter 2500 hire car. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Gilston

We a few weeks ago got a call about a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his compact Volkswagen Touareg 2 in Gilston. He had conked out on the street. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament until it broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was happy because of both your call-out time and your value for money". Of course we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the engineer said the driver was fuming, but was pleased when we finished.

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly dawn and nobody was around. It had become rather dead until now, and me and Brian were sitting about browsing some old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet hour in Hertfordshire. Actually it was so quiet that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone told me: "I just finished my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel new Volkswagen GLI by mistake". We instructed him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Gilston 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thank you for getting there so fast. While we were coming back home we found two ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to 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.
