It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Plaistow and filled petrol in a diesel burgundy red Kia Spectra5 rental in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Newham done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Newham we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all types of AdBlue 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.
