It was about 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the golf, prepared for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Lilley and put petrol in her diesel aunt's Mazda B-Series Plus rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue 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.
