It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in New Cross and put petrol in a diesel canary yellow Kia Spectra rental in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Camden done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Camden we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
