It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated going over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Shortfield Common and put the wrong fuel in her diesel cyan Ford Fusion rental. She was very irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you have put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shortfield Common

Now I'm not ever excessively keen on doing work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family after having a superb dinner prepared by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a guy after he had put the wrong fuel in his dark blue Lexus IS. He was only in Shortfield Common and so I was on scene before long. Just as I arrived at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on some harm simply by starting it?" I said that truth be told there probably should not be any problems and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Obviously I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and another happy customer had the ability to carry on with his trip without any hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that makes working on Sundays in Surrey just a small bit less painful for me personally!

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.
