It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting going over the weekend's football, waiting for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Bicton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel buff Lexus LS lease car. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Shropshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle.

I appreciated a great afternoon fishing during my day off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a young family away in Bicton. They'd stopped after adding petrol in their khaki green Peugeot Boxer, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl berating her partner for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs regularly in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bicton

Now I'm not so enthusiastic about doing the job on weekends, and last week was the same. I had just departed the wife and kids following a fantastic dinner prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman after he put the incorrect petrol in his green Peugeot 207. He was located in Bicton and so I arrived with him soon. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created harm simply by running it?" I revealed that there should not be any problems and also I would remove the wrong fuel immediately for him. Obviously I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist could continue on his traveling without the need for fuss. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make working on weekends in Shropshire that little 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.
