It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the recent sports results, ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Northover and put the wrong fuel in a diesel daughter's BMW X6 M lease car in error. She was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and less apprehensive. One more job in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

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.
