It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting talking about the recent rugby results, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Wymondham and filled petrol in her diesel new-shape BMW 6 Series rental car by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Norfolk we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Any time you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A lady from Wymondham with a full car of little ones in her diesel sombre grey Mitsubishi Challenger had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op filling station.

We reassured her that everything would be fine and that she would be back on the road in no time at all.

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.
