It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the recent football rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Regent Street and put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey Volvo V50 rental in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Westminster done well in my books!

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


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Westminster we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid 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.
