It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Chingford Green and put petrol in her diesel light blue VW Touareg 2 rental car. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Southwark we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Should you end up in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Chingford Green

We recently received a call from a driver who put the wrong fuel in his grass green Peugeot Partner in Chingford Green. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem till we stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it working again. I was amazed by both your call-out time and your charges". As you can imagine we showed up punctually and purged the engine after draining all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through some old articles. That was a rare quiet moment in Southwark. It was indeed so tranquil that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I leaped! The person on the phone said: "I have just concluded my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel elegant Volkswagen Fox". We instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we left, ending up in Chingford Green only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were returning to the depot we spotted two girls at the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
