Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Ludford and filled petrol in a diesel pristine BMW 645 rental in error. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle!

AdBlue In your Fuel

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

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel sky blue Renault Master in Ludford. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station and pulled up along a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a few days ago when my old one, which I had owned for about twenty years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Shropshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ludford

I am not necessarily overly interested in carrying out work on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from home after a fantastic Sunday roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a man after he had put the incorrect fuel in his apple green Mercedes SL65 AMG. He was stationed in Ludford and so I arrived on scene rapidly. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about some harm by simply running it?" I stated there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and another content customer was able to carry on with their trip without the need for difficulty. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Shropshire that little bit less painful for me personally!

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.
