Our engineer was called to a filling station in Cowhill when a young lady wrong fueled her dark green Volkswagen Golf by putting unleaded in her diesel vehicle. She was in an aggravated and mixed up state of mind but we quickly eased her mood by informing her that we could be with her car within the hour to do the necessary work and that the car would before long be working and she would be off again. As we had promised she was exactly that, but also insisted on declaring: "Your business is incredibly service focused, I'm especially happy my vehicle is fine," and that she would endorse us to anybody.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously never crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS35 Postcode - Cowhill Misfueling

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Total filling station at Gloucestershire to advise us that he had put unleaded into his diesel teal Land Rover Freelander II; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd done it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cowhill - Wrong Fuel in Car Cowhill

I'd had a perfect day cycling on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Cowhill. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their navy blue BMW M Roadster, and the car was about half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the lady telling off her husband for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, but he still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
