It was around eight pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Buckminster and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue VW GTI rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Buckminster - Wrong Fuel in Car Buckminster

I had a fantastic day fishing during my holiday and felt cheerful the next working day as I was on the way to help a new family who were on vacation in Buckminster. They conked out after filling diesel in their racing green Mercedes M-Class, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this goes on regularly in Leicestershire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, and yet he yet still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyways, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Buckminster

Now I am not that inclined to working on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just come away from the family following a magnificent roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his dark red Toyota Sienna. He was stationed in Buckminster therefore I was there very quickly. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on stuff and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about some problems through starting it?" I said there shouldn't be damage and also that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel at once. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so another happy motorist could continue their journey with no difficulty. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Leicestershire just a little bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Buckminster - Fuel Rescue Buckminster

A young lady from Buckminster with her children in her diesel white Seat Exeo had put £45 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the car would be ok and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."

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.
  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.
