It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on raining! James and me were seated there going over the weekend's golf, waiting for the seventh job of the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Chaffcombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grass green BMW M Roadster rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Any time you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
