It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were seated there commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Stock and filled petrol in a diesel faithful Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG rental in error. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Stock

Imagine grinding to a halt in a vehicle contaminated with the improper fuel on the street. We had a customer who put contaminated fuel in her car (bright white Kia Sportage) in Stock suffered from precisely that kind of difficulty: "Unfortunately I incorrectly put petrol in my diesel car a few days ago. I was so troubled about contaminating my fuel that I was actually in tears. Nevertheless I didn't need to worry seeing as you were amazing in fixing it."

A motorist who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel buff Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 contacted us for help at the Texaco petrol filling station in Stock. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel and it wasn't a great way to start to our vacation." It was certainly no hassle in the least for our technician to go along and perform the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday break.

Likely Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

This is a list of very common wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Reduced engine power

  • Hassles starting the motor
  • Abnormal 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.
