Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Sulgrave and put the wrong fuel in a diesel customised Hyundai Excel rental car in error. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Should you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 2 in the morning and noone was stirring.

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.
