It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting discussing the recent football rankings, waiting for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Exfords Green and filled petrol in a diesel elegant Alfa Romeo164 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. A job in Shropshire done well in my mind!

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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In case you get in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

A woman from Exfords Green with her little ones in her diesel sombre grey Honda Civic GX had put £30 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us crying and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."

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.
