It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting talking about the golf, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Bomarsund and put petrol in a diesel black Seat Toledo lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my books!

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


AdBlue Contamination

All over Northumberland we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bomarsund - Wrong Fuel in Car Bomarsund

I had a great afternoon golfing during my day off and was feeling satisfied the following day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were vacationing in Bomarsund. They had broken down after adding diesel into their luxury Nissan 350Z Roadster, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on regularly in Northumberland and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
