It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Church Mayfield and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Cadillac Escalade ESV rental car by mistake. She was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. One more job in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

The following is a list of usual wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss in vehicle power
  • Motor stalling, chugging or even hiccuping
  • Problems starting the car
  • Abnormal smoke

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 VAT 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.
