It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there talking over the tennis, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Littleton Drew and put petrol in her diesel buff Mercedes-Benz R-Class rental in error. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less anxious. Another job in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically 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 pulled into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix different types of AdBlue liquid 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.

  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.
