It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated commenting on the rugby, waiting for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Swan Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Seat hire car by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Suffolk we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

I'd had a perfect evening hiking on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I was en route to help a new couple who were on vacation in Swan Green. They had pulled over after putting diesel in their silver Mazda, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens regularly in Suffolk and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he all the same had an earful. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I made the same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

This was the night shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was quite uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were sitting around perusing some old articles. That was an unusual restful hour in Suffolk. It was so relaxing that when my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the opposite end told me: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel grass green Volvo940 in error". We asked him to let us know where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Swan Green 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were coming back home we found two women on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
