It was after six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting going over the footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Martlesham and put petrol in her diesel partner's Land Rover Discovery Series II hire car. She was very affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

A relatively concerned customer phoned us from the BP petrol station at Suffolk to advise us that he put unleaded in to his diesel modern Kia Optima; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We advised him it was not a concern and quickly had our technician with him to drain the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having purged the contaminated fuel, he was shortly back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the gentleman who came out to do the fuel drain was very excellent - he did not make me appear foolish."

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.
