It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the recent golf, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Fairlop and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel work's Toyota Sequoia rental car in error. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Redbridge well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

A customer driving in Fairlop contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled car to work. She had put petrol in her diesel trusty Seat Exeo and, like countless before her, assumed that she would be able to just top up the vehicle with diesel and it would run fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she reached the entrance of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed in an hour or so while she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you repaired my vehicle."

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.
