It was around seven pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring!

Eventually we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in East Lavant and put the wrong fuel in her diesel light blue Daihatsu Charade rental by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Sussex we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Any time you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
