It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Highams Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel red Cadillac Escalade lease car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Waltham Forest well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
