It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting there talking about the weekend's sports, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Bank Top and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mum's BMW 3 Series rental car in error. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and less worried. Yet another job in Lancashire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Should you get in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Monday and we were off to assist an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel dark red Bentley Continental in Bank Top. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country road on route to visit her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was working she told me, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only got it a week back when my previous car, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Lancashire woman!

Ordinary Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

The following is a list of commonplace wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Car cutting out, stuttering or coughing
  • Hassles starting the automobile
  • Excessive smoking

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 VA 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.
