It was about five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing there discussing the sports, prepared for the seventh call that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Martyrs Green and filled petrol in a diesel cream Mercedes-Benz Sprinter lease car in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Surrey we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If you get in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical competence and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
