Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Padney and filled petrol in her diesel deep grey Audi Quattro hire car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!"

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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Padney

I am not actually too hot for doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just left the family filled with a tasty roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a man after he had filled the wrong fuel in his sky blue Ford Taurus. He was located in Padney and so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other things and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any damage as a result of running it?" I stated that truth be told there probably should not be any damage and also that I'd personally drain the wrong fuel at once. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another content customer was able to continue their trip without the need for hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make operating on weekends in Norfolk that little better to me!

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.
