It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting talking over the recent footy results, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Knowl Wall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Austin Mini rental car. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Should you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no 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 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.
