It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking about the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Collingbourne Kingston and filled petrol in a diesel grey Cadillac DTS hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Wiltshire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
