It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Englefield Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel old Peugeot 207 rental car by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. Another job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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

A teenager who had just got his licence had wrong fueled his light green Mitsubishi Chariot by having petrol in the diesel vehicle at the filling station in Englefield Green. He said, "This is just the second occasion I have fueled my car since I paid for it and I do not know how to handle it." He was also afraid as his dad had just paid for the car. He discovered our company on the net and so called us right away, frightened about what he should do.

This was the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been pretty dead up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing browsing a number of old papers. This was an uncommon restful time in Surrey. Actually it was that calm that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I've only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a grey Suzuki Vitara". We got him to inform us where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Englefield Green under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. As we were coming back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

Usual Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

Here is a list of routine wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Diminished engine power
  • Car dying, chugging or hiccuping
  • Problems starting the car
  • Increased 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.
