It was around 5 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking over the football rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Lydiard Tregoze and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Audi Allroad hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could find her swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A young lady from Lydiard Tregoze with a full car of little ones in her diesel sombre grey Honda Ridgeline had put £20 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She called us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything should be alright and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the kids on board."

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.
