It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Lower Ashtead and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel canary yellow Hyundai Genesis Coupe rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Hounslow done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hounslow we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Ashtead

A young person who had recently passed his driving test had misfueled his metallic red Mercedes-Benz R-Class by getting petrol in the diesel car at the petrol station near Lower Ashtead. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have filled up my car since I paid for it and I do not know how to proceed." He was afraid since his father had only just paid for the car. He discovered us on the web and so called us without delay, frightened about what he should do. Our guy on the call advised him that we could be there within forty-five minutes and to not touch the car while he waited.

A driver from Lower Ashtead with her little ones in her diesel compact Saab had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the BP filling station. She contacted us crying and extremely worried as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids on board."

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.
