Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Sidbrook and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved Fiat Panda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Sidbrook

I am not necessarily excessively inclined to carrying out work Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just departed home after eating a tasty Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a man who had put the incorrect petrol in his spotless Volkswagen Golf III. He was situated in Sidbrook thus it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other considerations and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of harm simply by running it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any harm and also I'd drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus another contented client was able to continue on their traveling without any subsequent fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make working on weekends in Somerset just a small bit better to me!

It truly was an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly 3:30am and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and Brian and I were sitting perusing several old articles. It was an unusual calm hour in Somerset. It was so quiet that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the phone explained: "I have completed my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel sombre grey Kia Sorento by mistake". We got him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we set off, reaching him in Sidbrook not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor. He said many thanks for coming so fast. While we were going back home we spotted two young women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
