It was before 7 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Hailey and put the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Volkswagen Golf III rental car. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Any time you get in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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.
