It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the golf results, waiting around for the 8th call to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Middle Herrington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Land Rover Freelander rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car into a safe space and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and much less concerned. One more job in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had become rather uneventful thus far, and John and I were sitting about perusing a couple of old articles. This was an unusual quiet time in Tyne and Wear. Actually it was indeed that quiet that when the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I've just completed my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my raspberry red Chevrolet Colorado by mistake". We got him to inform us where exactly the car was and we set off, ending up in Middle Herrington only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thanks a lot for showing up so promptly. As we were going back to base we found two ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to 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.
