It was before five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were relaxing there talking over the recent footy, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Badwell Ash and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dirty red Fiat Scudo rental in error. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you have put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
