It was about eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the football rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Tibberton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark red Fiat Ulysse rental car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Whenever you get in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WR9 Postcode - Tibberton Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:30 on a warm Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an elder lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Skoda in Tibberton. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a backwater road on route to see her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd only just bought it several days ago because my other car, which I had used for more than thirty years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Worcestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Tibberton

I'm not ever overly hot for doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids following a magnificent Sunday roast cooked by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a guy after he filled the incorrect fuel in his husband's Cadillac Catera. He was situated in Tibberton hence I was there soon. Just as I drove up behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other considerations and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any harm by starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there shouldn't be problems and that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel at once. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and one more delighted motorist had the ability to continue their ride without the hassle. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Worcestershire just that small bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Tibberton - Fuel Rescue Tibberton

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing browsing several old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet time in Worcestershire. It was so relaxing that the instant the phone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone stated: "I finished my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a khaki green Jaguar X-Type in error". I asked him to tell us where the vehicle was and we set off, ending up in Tibberton half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the road who looked like they had a puncture. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
