It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Wilmington and filled petrol in a diesel creamy white Seat Ibiza rental. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Wilmington

Now I am not actually too interested in doing work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I had just come away from the family following a magnificent lunch made by the wife, and I was off to assist a man who had put the incorrect petrol in his work's Peugeot 407. He was somewhere in Wilmington thus it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I arrived behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted problems by simply starting it?" I determined generally there probably should not be harm and also I would remove the fuel immediately for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and another happy client could carry on with his trip without the hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Somerset a tiny bit less painful to me!

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.
