It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the sports rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Thelveton and filled petrol in a diesel cobalt blue Ford Club Wagon rental car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Norfolk we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds 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.
