It was about 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Dunham Woodhouses and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Land Rover lease car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the lady right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at.

AdBlue Contamination

In Greater Manchester we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you did start the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Dunham Woodhouses - Wrong Fuel in Car Dunham Woodhouses

I appreciated a fantastic evening fishing on my day off and felt delighted the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were away in Dunham Woodhouses. They conked out after filling petrol into their teal Volvo S90, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in Greater Manchester and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances 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 VA 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.
