It was around five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Smithy Lane Ends and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Volvo850 lease car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

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.
