It was around seven pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's football rankings, ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Skipton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Mercedes SLK-Class rental in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you get in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
