The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

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

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A motorist had stopped on a street, Eastend just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was weeping and fairly agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we attempted to relax her as best we could, reassuring her that it would be ok. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer distressed and was curious in observing our technician complete the fuel drain on her apple green Hyundai Santa Fe. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I just purchased it and thus it especially freaked me out that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly glad that it was easily fixable."

We were called by a man whose super Chevrolet Suburban had conked out on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle in error. These guys arrived and sorted out the matter when my car gave up."

This really was the night shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It was pretty dead up to now, and me and Brian were loafing around reading a number of old articles. It was a rare tranquil hour in Essex. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the instant my mobile finally rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel green Toyota Land Cruiser by mistake". I told him to let us know where exactly he was and we headed out, reaching him in Eastend no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said thanks a lot for showing up so promptly. While we were going back home we saw two young ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
