It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated there talking over the sports results, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Kilvington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel black Volvo S60 rental in error. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at her quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NG13 Postcode - Kilvington Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Monday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel mint condition BMW X3 in Kilvington. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural road along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a few days back after my old car, which I owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Nottinghamshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Kilvington

Now I am not necessarily that excited about doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from home filled with a fantastic Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a guy after he had put the incorrect fuel in his bright white Volvo850. He was only in Kilvington and so I was there soon. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about problems by starting it?" I determined there shouldn't be problems and that also I'd get the wrong fuel drained quickly. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist was able to continue on their ride without the need for fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what can make operating on Sundays in Nottinghamshire just that small bit better to me!

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.
