It was close to seven pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were resting there commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the sixth job for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Turnford and filled petrol in her diesel mate's Mazda MX-5 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. A job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised competence and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A woman from Turnford with a full car of children in her diesel pristine Honda Civic Si had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Shell station.

We assured her that all would be fine and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.

  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.
