It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the recent football rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Grindon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel husband's BMW Z4 hire car by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was living at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Tyne and Wear we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

A customer had come to a halt on a street, Grindon having just misfueled. She was weeping and fairly agitated as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car.

Wrong Fuel in Car Tyne and Wear - Petrol in Diesel Car Grindon

Now I am not necessarily too keen on running Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the family after eating a tasty dinner cooked by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a guy because he filled the incorrect petrol in his maroon Porsche 911. He was stationed in Grindon so I was on scene soon. Just as I arrived behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my concentration on other stuff and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created some harm because of running it?" I revealed that there probably should not be problems and also I would personally remove the fuel immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and one more pleased client was able to carry on with his journey without any fuss. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make operating on Sundays in Tyne and Wear just a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

A young lady working in Grindon phoned us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel dark blue Bugatti Veyron and, like countless prior to her, believed that she could basically top up the tank with diesel and it'd run okay. The engine was coughing and then it died when she came to the the front of her work. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour while she was at the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you sorted my vehicle."

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.
