In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Howgill and put petrol in her diesel precious VW Fox rental car by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Howgill

Now I'm not too inclined to working on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed home after a lovely lunch prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a fellow after he had put the incorrect petrol in his work's Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class. He was stationed in Howgill therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up behind the car and started work he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and didn't ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I created any damage simply by starting it?" I stated that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so one more content client was able to carry on with his traveling without any fuss. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on Sundays in Lancashire a little less painful in my opinion!

A driver from Howgill with her kids in her diesel Ferarri red Saab had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the filling station.

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.
