It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there discussing the recent rugby rankings, ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Griff and put petrol in her diesel new-shape Isuzu i-350 rental. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

A guy had broken down just near a street in Griff.

He claimed that he had got zero sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Griff - Fuel Rescue Griff

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to 3am and nobody was about. It was rather quiet thus far, and me and Mark were loafing about looking at some old papers. That was an uncommon peaceful hour in Warwickshire. Actually it was that relaxing that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the other end explained: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the diesel husband's Kia Optima in error". We got him to inform us where exactly the car was and we set off, reaching him in Griff less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He said many thanks for showing up so rapidly. As we were coming back to base we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. 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 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.
