It was about six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there talking over the recent golf, waiting for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Birkin and put petrol in her diesel raspberry red Volkswagen Eos rental in error. She was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was staying in.

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


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types 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.
