It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting talking over the sports rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Earlswood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel work's Toyota Corolla hire car. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in.

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


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Surrey we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Earlswood - Wrong Fuel in Car Earlswood

I had enjoyed a great evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented the next day as I set out to assist a new family on vacation in Earlswood. They had conked out after putting diesel in their yellow Mitsubishi 3000GT, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Surrey and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
