It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated commenting on the football results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Sherford and put petrol in a diesel cobalt blue BMW 8 Series rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In case you end up in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
