It was about 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next job to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Harlestone and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Cadillac Escalade hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. Another job in Northamptonshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased the next day as I set out to help a young family holidaying in Harlestone. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their bright yellow Hyundai HED-5, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on constantly in Northamptonshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

I am not actually too hot for running on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had only just departed home after a superb roast made by the missus, and I was off to sort out a man who had filled the incorrect fuel in his grass green Cadillac Escalade EXT. He was somewhere in Harlestone therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I arrived at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my attention on other things and did not ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about some problems because of driving it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be problems and that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained at once.

A driver from Harlestone with her kids in her diesel mom's Seat Ibiza had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything would be ok and that she would be back up and running soon. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

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 VAT 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.
