It was around six pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated there talking over the rugby rankings, ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Biddisham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black BMW 8 Series hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Whenever you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS26 Postcode - Biddisham Misfueling

The driver of a apple green Volvo XC90 was sorry that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car when he got as far as the road and it coughed and ground to a halt.

Wrong Fuel Assist Biddisham - Wrong Fuel in Car Biddisham

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt satisfied the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple away in Biddisham. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their canary yellow Renault Kangoo, and were close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled as I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, but he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Biddisham

I'm not overly excited about carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just come away from home following a tasty roast prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to help a fellow after he put the wrong fuel in his work's VW Fox. He was located in Biddisham therefore it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about any damage as a result of driving it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any damage and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another contented client was able to continue on their trip without the difficulty. The guy did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make carrying out work on weekends in Somerset that little 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 VA 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.
